#3 for me-2000 ld9 5 speed sedan
Well, the title pretty much says it all...
After finding out that Tequila (99 coupe) is rusting faster and could possibly cost me a lot of money in the short term, the search for a replacement was on...
And the result... This one... picked it up for $400, so far from what I can tell, it needs an exhaust, stereo, and a few minor things here and there... for the price, I can't really complain.
Original silver hood was severely rusted, so the previous owner replaced it with this one. Only issue, the original had struts, this one needs either brackets welded on, or a prop rod...
He took the side skirt off to check for rust, only a bit of surface rust, and now I have to figure out how to remount the skirt...
Ah... the stupidity... dryer venting for the "ram air induction" as he called it... 
Haven't checked to see if there is an actual filter at the end of the dryer venting, or if it is just this green mesh where the fog light used to be...
Lightly tinted tail lights with VHT... not sure if I will keep these or put the ones I have on the coupe (as seen in this picture)...
and the junk he "included" with the car... an extra set of fans, headlights, trunk carpet and spare tire cover, camaro muffler (99% sure it's a stock system), ugly exhaust tips, grand am spoiler and a cracked radio bezel...
Well, this is how she sits, hopefully I can get some time in the next week or so to tear into it and see what it needs and what it will cost to get on the road...

well, finally got it inside to work on it...
not too bad of a list:
small hole on pass rocker and inside trunk- bondo will do
broken rear spring- still have stock ones from lowered sedan
rear brake lines- gotta replace, no spares!
rear calipers if bleeder screws are seized- have spare set in shed or on coupe
hazard switch- pushed into the dash, remove gauge cluster and reinstall
exhaust- have the pieces, just need it welded on
wipers- have to buy new
front tires- have 3 other sets of tires and rims to use for safety
got the rear bumper off tonight to prep for body work, pulled the head lights and tails out for custom work...
quick shot of the tails from my cell phone...
still needs to be buffed and cleared over top, plus not the best lighting!
1 coat of black vht from previous owner, 3 coats of red vht by me tonight!

The alero interior looks way better than the grand-am one though...but to each their own
EDIT: That appears to be a tan interior...if so is it in bad condition and if you end up doing the full swap

no it's the grey interior, just the reflection of the light... it is in horrible shape, half the panels don't fit right, are ripped etc, and i just like being different so this one will get the grand am interior... just like my coupe
the dash will actually be coming out of the coupe and into this one, just need to find a 5 speed centre console
