Well guys, I promised I would make up a page about my Turbo Grand Prix, and here is the begginings of it. I will add as I go along. The donor 89 TGP has been stripped of the needed parts and sold to a freind of mine in Virginia, where he plans to do a ground up rebuild. And the 90 TGP is now being driven daily after about 2000 in repairs and stuff. So check back, this page will be growing, and I will also be updating my other cars page, the 89 Pontiac 6000 STE AWD.

So here is how the story begins. I first bought a 89 Pontiac ASC McLaren Turbo Grand Prix because the body was straight, in need of paint, and its current owner didnt want to bother with a tune up that it "sounded" like it needed.

I dont have a pic of what the motor looked like, but, it had all the accesories were disconnected, or totally missing. I got the motor area all put back together, performed a top notch tune up on it, only to find out that most of the motor was completely WORN THE F&^% OUT! Not to mention the interior wasnt in the best of shape, but it was repairable.
