My $500 Alero
I just picked this one up today. It has a blown up 3.4 in it due to a mechanic not putting in a sensor right. It's had a pretty hard life. I got it to replace some hail damage parts on my 4 door and beyond that I'm not really sure what to do with it. Either scrap it, part it out or autocross it.

she is a little rough, but we have the parts to revive it! but no if you part it out im sure quite a few people would want things out of it.
looks like the driver window is at an angle.

Looks like its rolling on 1 Alero rim and 3 chevy rims.
Bit of Mutt. But for 500$, worth it in parts.

Both window regulators are totally shot. The 3 matching rims have oldsmobile emblems on a carbon fiber background. The oddball one matches my other car so I might have myself an aluminum spare.

get the parts you need, part it out, sell back to junk yard/keep for parts/build it into a monster. some options... personally I like those 02gls rims better though, but having the one as a spare will be nice. headlights still look good, they would be a nice set to paint.

Just bought a running silver coupe a couple weeks ago for $800. I only needed the front end, however I'm pretty sure I have a buyer for both cars now. |

got the trunk lid and hood switched over. Didn't realize there was a change between the two years where they did away with the hood struts and put in a prop rod. No problem though, just drilled out the spot welds holding the strut brackets on the hail hood and welded them onto the new hood. Since the front of the hood has a little surface rust, I'll dress the whole mess up later.

Did they do the same thing with the Grand Ams? Figured it might've been right after the phase-out announcement and was an Olds only thing. |
