Hi from The Netherlands!
 

Hi all,

My name is Eelco and I'm from the Netherlands.
I bought an Alero two weeks ago despite the fact that I did read all comments on carsurvey.org about our beloved cars.

It is an 2.4 GL, mistysilver (#17) exterior and tan interior.
It has 65.000 km on the odometer and I have put already a good 2500 km on it till now.

When I bought it, the car had stood still for half a year on the parkingroof of a dealership. The previous (first) owner died in June last year and the family still had to decide what to do with it.

Things I had to do when I got her:

- Replace blower resistor
- Replace serpetine belt and tensioner (were squeeking)
- Replaced righthandside mirror glass (old one fell out probably)
- Headlights aligned

Also replaced the head unit (it was still working, but the cd skipped with every pebble on the road) with a DIN1. Was hell to get in, even with the special adapter.

Things I still have to do:

- Replace rear speakers (1 is blown up)
- Oil change

Despite all the so called flaws on this car, I really like the looks of it and I think that if you take good care of the car, the car takes good care of you.

And sure, there are always points of attention, but that is with every car.
It is called (excessive) wear :lol:

- bearings
- brakes










The sidemarkers (cornerlights) have an amber bulb, but it is hard to see here.
The foglights don't have that much output, but they do look cool!




Oh, and for a hobby I drive a Buick Riviera 1970 with the 455cu V8 and a 1980 Honda CX500 motorcycle. :cool:

Welcome...and thats a clean car

hello and welcome from michigan

Welcome, sell me your eurospec headlights, and I will send you my american ones!!!

Welcome !

Welcome to the site.

All your vechiles are clean, I like!

Also the AR-39 rims on your Riv, I love those rims, too bad they stopped making them :(

Welcome!... Lovin the headlights.. i am tryin to make my own clear reflector. That speedo is different, very clean with no miles on it.

Olds badging in the front... chevy in the back!!

Nice cars man!

i see no difference in the euro headlights and mine lol

they have a clear reflector, not a lack of a reflector :lol:
plus the amber on the second light from the outside is an actual built in lense, not reflection from an amber bulb

lol just clear ours and use leds to manipulate whatever you like lol no need to trade ;)

Thanks everyone!

I did not know that those American Racings were called AR-39?

I just took them off and put on some steelies with original hubcaps.
I have put them up for sale.

They wouldn't fit the Alero would they? They are 5x5 8J 15 inch.


sorry for putting the introduction topic here! Is there an Admin that can move it to the appropriate section?

Thanks!

come to ass :)

^^^^Yea your right on that one.

Welcome to the site. Both of your cars and the bike look nice. Also what part of the Netherlands are you from if you don't mind me asking. The reason I ask is because I have a friend that lives in Amsterdam.
