New member-GaryC-Pittsburgh, PA
Hi,
Just joined this morning. I have a 2001 Alero GX coupe, 2.4L that I bought new. Now at 90,000 miles. Been our daily driver since new. My wife and I always loved the looks of the car . Interested to see what you all are doing with your Alero's, also problems and fixes. I'm dealing with the common rust issue on the lower quarter now. Just cut out and welded in new metal, even had to replace part of the frame structure. Kinda surprised me, car has always been garaged and well cared for . I guess that doesn't matter when it comes to rust :> Anyhow, looking forward to the message board.
Gary

Thanks!
Thanks to all for the welcome!
[ion] C2, that Quad looks great. Is that a turbo I see? Let me know what all you have done, what you are running? I like the paint on the ignition cover. Really nice setup.

(I'll post some pics of my Alero as soon as I get home tonight)

Thanks. It's Navy Blue Metallic (Code 28) I'm pretty sure it wasn't available in all Alero production years..... |
