Hehehe Good news, I bought a 2000 Alero coupe the 2nd week of April, so the future looks bright. Sweet thing is, when I opened the hood for the first time ( expecting the 3100 ), BAM ! there sat the 3400 instead ! I couldn't get my wallet out fast enough.
Plans are as follows; modding mainly the drivetrain, stereo, and basic interior....I'm not too big on the ricer look, and besides: what good is all show, no go? Especially with all the little hondas with better power-to-weight ratios running around. I just can't see spending mad cash on a car, then have your doors blown off by some piece of junk driven by a 16 year old kid who wears a sun-visor at night.....you know what I mean?
For those of you who like being able to put a face to the name, here's a decent pic of me @ Hoover Dam, roughly an hour from where my sister and brother-in-law live in Nevada.
Intended modifications to include but not limited to :
UNDER-THE-HOOD
I plan on painting a big Oldsmobile rocket symbol in metallic gold on the fabric under the hood : I think it looks sweet as hell, and huge kudos to the guy that did it first.
