And the after shot..Not bad for a 21 year old college student, working part time. This is my daily driver, and it is some slow progress, but I'm sure you guys can relate.

STX- If that is slow progress, I would hate to see fast. My progress seems to be going in reverse. I picked mine up in 1996 needing cosmetic work. Now it is in my garage becoming a pile of pieces. Only 8 years to get this far. I simply did not have a garage before 2002 and have enjoyed driving too much to start ripping it apart. Now that I started, I am anxious to get it done. Bye Bye money

Hehe, the pictures don't show that it's 2 years of work so far. And you can't tell, but the body is the only thing that is nice. I haven't even started the interior, and just barely scratched the engine. Let's see some more pictures, everybody!

Sorry, I lost all my "before" pics, when my computer crashed a while back. Imagine a white 1980 Trans Am Pace car. Rusted to crap, no hood, trunk, engine, tranny, interior, front windshield busted out. BUT, it has the original Turbo wheels, lol. Picked it up for $100. Almost two years later.......

What we have here, is a wonderful inspiration for those of us who still have a ways to go. Thank you for everyone who contributed their photos. Many times in the past many years I've felt like just giving up and selling it. Illness and family problems always seemed to take all my time. But, I kept it after almost losing it to a shop that went bust who also took lots of my money. Now, I am back on it and making prograss. Slow, because of health reason but moving ahead. Thank you all very much. < Mike >

Dont give up on your passion. When I bought my car, most of my friends and family thought I was crazy for taking on a project of this magnitude. But me, being the car enthusiast that I am had the car up and running in record time, from what they tell me. Ive had other Pontiacs, but they were not what I wanted. I built this car MY way. So dont give, up work on your car at your pace, and in time it will all come together.

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
