Project: Blue Alero
Project Status: OK
New v-band flange on exhaust to eliminate leakage noise/vibration.
Recent picture:
------
Original Post
Bought this 2001 5-speed GX 2.4L from a dealer 2 hours away for $1400.
Dealer turned out to be an idiot and the car had a brake line leak causing me to have barely any braking power the whole drive home.
Windshield was cracked. Got a new one.
Had brake line replaced.
The wheels/tires were also taken from some other Oldsmobile and were a horrible size. The tires were so large that the inside section of the tread was completely shaved down due to contact with the strut. No shit the suspension makes noise (dealer told me). Put wheels from red car on to be safe.
Lots of rust spots.
Taking it apart.
Surprise, rust is worse than expected.
All new metal formed and welded in here and at gas door.
All dings repaired. Undercoated. Both fenders new.
Ford - Dark Blue Pearl Metallic
Right after paint.
Switching suspension and brakes from red car over.
Goodies came in.
New wheels.
All new speakers and headunit.
Stripping down the engine for removal.
Ready to pull out.

Light blue looks ugly. It would've came out like DOHC_tuner's abomination.
I wanted it to be a non-Alero color, but for it to look factoryish. I love this blue in person. |

deceiving after telling me he fixed the brakes. tires were worn to the steel on the rear. could've advised me of its unsafeness after the title was handed over when he knew i had a 2 hour drive home. guy acted like a master mechanic when in fact many things were just covered up and hacked together.

I want to make as much as I can off it quickly, and a running car sells for more and faster than a dead one.
