bought this car 6 years ago with the body in great shape. It doesn't have a pontiac motor in it though, it has a small block chevy. I've slowly been doing stuff to it, but have been saving money and accumulating parts to make her a pro-touring bird. I've accumulated a bunch of parts already for it:
Global West subframe connectors
Global West solid body mounts
polygraphite front end rebuild kit
Hotchkis 2 inch lowering springs for the front
Hotchkis/bilstein shocks for all 4 corners
I have many more parts to get, so this is just the beginning. Next on the list is a hotchkis front sway bar and hotchkis sport rear leafs, and then of course disc brakes and a nice set of rims and tires, probably 17 inch. I'm also in the process of changing the color of the interior over from the aqua color to black.

I haven't had any time to work on the car. got the front up in the air, got some of the front suspension off and thats pretty much it.

Put the front up on jackstands today so I can start rebuilding the front suspension. So over the next month or longer ( I have a 10 month old daughter that ties up a bunch of time) I'll be tooling on this, I'll update photos as I go along.
originally a straight six bird, but there was a small block chevy in it when I bought it.
