 I just realized looking at the picture that parts of the fiberglass header panel that were covered by the old grill are not on the new one - I'll have to pop it out and do a little rattle-can touch up painting on that tomorrow. Now I just need to get the window tinting re-done, the seat split sewn and the tool box cleaned/fixed up. A little over 215,000 miles on it now.

Grill & lights are from the 2005-07 series, they CNC the grill to fit the earlier bumper.

Boss,
A little advice from an old injection tech. HEUI injectors start breaking their nozzle springs about 175,000-200,000 miles. Put aside a little money to have them serviced.

200,000 miles now is not that much. I just bought a 97 Camry for my sons first car for $500.00. It only has 177,000 on it. I will get 300,000 miles out of it easily. With engine technology what it is today, gearing, overdrive,Etc. It's all very easy on the cars today.

I commonly drive to 220K or so. Some have been better than others. The best so far was a 1993 Chevy Cavalier and a 1983 280ZX turbo that I modded, and it still took the abuse.

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.
