Flybye Posted February 28, 2009 Report Share Posted February 28, 2009 GTO- pretty much dead set on getting rid of it....... GTP- just got it back from my son's mom and have been lurking the GP forums for some new goodies. Mainly just in the process of giving a tune/clean up and get back into tip top shape. Monte Carlo SS- pretty much where all my extra money is and has been going. Too much to list with this car but ill get a progress thread up asap. I'm still in the process of cleaning my shop up though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
