project "gator" coming soon
ms.bdyman just bought a 2003 2 door alero, with the ecotec, 140,000 miles on her, and its bad!! real bad!!! shape, real dirty hasnt been cleaned in years, passenger 1/4 has a rust hole in it, door dings in it, drivers side 1/4 has a scrape on it
needs tires
brakes, front and rear pads and rotors
wheel alignemnt
condensor
complete tune up
hazzord switch
drivers side window regulator
left and right lower fender liners,
windshield
windshield trim
serpitine belt
fresh oil
and the worst part it doesnt start,turns over but wont start, its not the passlock either, but i can and will save her, i will bring another alero back to life, make it a nice car again
we pick it up tomorrow, and when its back at the house i will post pics of the car in the dirty nasty shape it is, and when i start to clean it up
furture plans??? tint the windows, lowering springs, and pin striped, warm air intake, maybe a new radio, thats it yes thats it lol i cant go balls out with this car, she wont let me
why the name "gator" the car is for her oldest daughter this is a first car, and her name is allie, and on the softball team her nick name in "alliegator" so i will play off of that when its striped
pics up tomorrow!!

got it real cheap, the owner needs the money, and she doesnt have money to dump into the car, so her loss is our gain

How cheap? Inquiring minds want to know. That 03 eco motor is a gem tho, it'll be rock solid once you get it running.

Thats a good price, considering its an 03 and you can probably get all the parts for under 1000. Just alot of labor thats all, which is no real loss if you're not working anyways. I've been taking on alot of projects like this myself lately, like this 95 firebird for $650:
$500 in parts and tools and some hard work, now she runs pretty good.
