hey...the bumper is the same for gt and st. the diff between front bumper covers is they changed it from 96-99 you have the 94-95 front bumper.

congrats on the new car though. you planning on doing an auto to manual swap though? i don't think i would like the auto tranny.

Call me a traitor! See if I care. ;)

it cost me 8000 plus tax CND. its a US make car so all the readings are in US miles and stuff but oh well... it has 124000 miles on it and still runs perfect. compression is only 10 off and there is no rust at all. needs some stuff here and there... but even still im happy.

Dag-gum at the clean engine bay!

Cleaning a bay can suck but once it's clean it's easy to keep up. KEEP IT UP! You may not have a turbo under the hood, but you can always be proud of a clean bay! biggrin.gif

Very nice buy!

Have fun with this site and keep us posted on it!

CLOSED on 25 acres!-shop coming soon....
Interested in selling your stock sides??

yah gonna do exterior work before painting. i want to get JDM parts for it asap like headlights, side indicators, tail lights, GT4 spoiler and among other things. however i dont want to be swamped with a bunch of PM's for people that wanna sell me stuff... ill post in the forums WTB: etc etc...

basically a GT4 exterior conversion. sure ill try waxing it first see where that gets me.
need a 2 post spoiler! and a manual transmission, but after that you will be good to go!

lol nice find bro
