1991 Pontiac Grand Prix SE tour, start up, & exhaust

Well the Grand Prix is road ready now. I paid $400 for it, and put a grand total of $68 in parts into it giving me a perfectly reliable, low mileage car for only $468. Granted it does need a bit more work but in the condition its in its ready to be put on the road. I cleaned up it quite a bit too, I washed it, degreased the motor (it was covered in power steering fluid from when the pump failed) and I scrubbed the carpets (they were NASTY from the previous owner).

Just to prevent further questions, this car IS replacing my 1993 Cavalier. The Cavalier was a great car to me, Ive had it for nearly 4 years and put almost 30,000 miles on it. Keep in mind I only paid $650 for it and havent put much work into it, I more than got my moneys worth out of that car. I'm selling it on to my sister who will probably drive it into the ground before junking it. I don't want to get rid of it but theres no point of having 2 daily drivers and that way when the day comes that the Cavalier rusts severely, I don't have to scramble for a new car.

I know that airbags were standard on other GM models of the same year, but I guess Pontiac did a weird thing where they thought that airbags would never be mandatory by government protocol, seeing they put all those pushbutton triggers on the steering wheel for random functions. I guess they did that for the sake of being futuristic, didn't they? I remember those days of that. But one hobby I have involves repurposing what I dismantle, sometimes it involves trivial auto parts.

@SamuraiClinton The only cars that had airbags in 1991 were Camaros, Caprices, Corsicas, and Berettas. Airbags weren't manditory back then, just a passive safety system. To get around this GM just used door mounted seatbelts, which acted as an "automatic" belt. Meaning you could leave it buckled yet still open the door and get in and out.

Dude i know this is random but, have you ever been to American Loan Jewelry in Detroit?

[xScoobyDoo82x]

Nice, so are you buying any more projects? Or is this it for projects?

[xScoobyDoo82x]

@camaroz2855 Its my new DD now, not really a project And I cant afford anything else now so this is it until maybe summer.

[SamuraiClinton]

@xScoobyDoo82x oh yeah. I remember that gag from the movie Tommy Boy where that feature disfigured the aim of a gun on the box truck tire of car parts to ship.
