my old olds aurora.
 

well I figured I might as well post some pictures of my old olds aurora before I had to get rid of her and I figured here on an olds forum with the baby model of the olds generation of its time would like to see them too.
































and there you are, the olds aurora the legend that made me love olds so much. you can see it from start to finish of what I had done to it and changed but their backwards in pictures lol from the last one to the top. I have many many more pictures but I figured this would be enough for you guys lol

3.5 you put 4.0 wheels on?

yup I did, the last few pics you can see I had the 3.5L chrome rims on ( came with the car ) and I found a set of 4.0L chrome rims locally for cheap ( me trading a car audio amp that I gotten for free ) and did the swap so I went from 16's to 17's

why are you getting rid of it? looks like a great car.

tranny was on its way out, and need more work ( suspension wise ) then I cared to put into it as the tranny alone was a $3000 job even if I did the work myself and that was more then enough for me to say its time to let go. I miss her everyday but it was for the best

Nice.

Im arm deep in mine right now.

Hopefully I can get the compression checked tonight.

good luck with yours, I hope everything pans out for the cheaper.

Take the stickers off and send it my way!:dance1:

lol you mean the aurora banner? it looks good only on the aurora I find. I seen a few on aleros locally and I tend to find they look bad.

I dont own her anymore but from what I hear the new owner is trying to claim everything I had done to her ( D/S rotors, chrome rims, banner, chrome front grills, and many other little things ) to his own and that he did it himself ( 100% lie )

where did you get the chrome inserts or are those standard?

from crappy tire ( canadian tire ) or your guys auto zone, I bought door trim guard and made it myself just cut to length and away we go. was never a factory option for it however it should of been

did you have to drill holes to get them to stay or did you glue them in place? Do they stay straight or bend?

they come with 3m tape on the other end. they can bend any which way you want but once installed they stay straight and last canadian brutal winters ( I live in the part of canada were we get more snow then summer but not as bad as the NWT )

Nice car. Too bad that you're giving it away, cash for clunkers anyone? I was thinking...hmmm if you put those rims on a Alero how it will look; and why are those punk ass guys staring at your car? lmao.

thanks, I gave it back to the finaicing company ( I bought my red 2 door 5 speed 2.4L with $160 of work needed now done to pass our motor vehicle inspections, for $400 ) and as for the 17 inch rims I sold them long long ago before I even thought I was getting the alero or esle they be on there right now lol.

those guys staring were apart of a car meet the car club I am apart of were at lol.

and hok666 if you'd like ill take a pic of the stuff I used I still have a little left over in the closet in my house so you can see the size, and what to look for at the auto store

The car looks really nice man. It's a shame that you had to get rid of it.

thanks, trust me I know I miss her everyday but sometimes it just comes to the point where you gotta let it go specially when the cheapest tranny I found was $3000 before installing and rebuilding was $2500 without the labour of getting it in and out.

but don't worry ill make the alero just as nice if not better theres much more parts and easier to find parts for this then the aurora out there lol
