Re: FWD Pontiac Grand Prix donor
well, had intended to do a more traditional front end but i was already so far out in front of the wheels already and my creative process just takes me where it takes me. lights are all funcitonal. if i were to stick a mirror on it it would be street legal.
i got the fuel filler figured out. -- the the CV joint boot seal is def leaking and needs to be replaced. bummer in the summer.

Re: FWD Pontiac Grand Prix donor
well i got a lot done really quickly at the end. its not done done yet but i have declared a "soft" done. theres just a few clean-up/touch-up items to make it look nicer.
i do feel bad for not doing this under the nontraditional build logs, it ended up being pretty far off. that big FWD in the front gave it a different shape. but its still really fun to drive. after driving it a few times i do wish it was a stick.

Re: FWD Pontiac Grand Prix donor
i got the ABS rear wheel arches on. It was good enough that i am tempted to replace some of the other panels with ABS. maybe on my next project. anyways, i am now done except for a perfunctory windshield wiper. its not the ugliest car ever made but it may be the ugliest locost. theres a lot i would do differently next time. (wait to find a manual transmission, put 6 more inches into the seat area, do more rivets,)

Congratulations!
I think it's the fastest start to finish project I've seen!
