it will be staying like this for awhile, bc anything i see from the neon or on ebay is going be be going to the down payment or the principle of the loan.

im thinking im just going to get a oem rear bumper , change the head lights and tail lights out ( im talking with lsp about having her do some retros and leds boards) niteshape the rear tails and the middle 3rd light on the trunk , installing the rims ( with new tires)

then replacing all the seats out of a 300m ( maybe might see about 300m rear conversion see how hard that would be)

put a nice system in the car and just drive it, im not gonna do anything to much to it bc the gf and i are thinking after we get the equinox paid off ( which ever and when ever she gets it) i think we are going to buy a house!

i dont know how it was before i bought it almost 2 years ago but it has been maintained good since i have had it oil change 2500-3000 miles etc.

there is no noises other then the power steering noise it makes when its cold but once it warms up that goes away.

i know 2.7s are junk motors, im debating on a 3.5HO swap
the car has been running great since i changed the gaskets and the water pump from last year when water pump went bad and the head gaskets where bad.

im thinking if i do end up deciding to do anything to this car engine wise , im going to do a swap first thing before anything else.

ok, well i have decied im going to swap the engine as soon as i get everything i need ( finding the parts for this car are going to be hard)

so which engine is better the 3.5HO
or
the 3.2?

if i go with a 3.5 out of a 300M

im also looking for the front rear seats out of 300M in cloth so if anyone know of any cheap let me know.

well the engine is going to be awhile being i need alot of things for it to work. the seats , well i have to replace the back ones. my daughter though it would be funny to piss her pants in the car and now the seat smells nasty when it gets warm out. so if i am going to pay for a new seat i want 300 m seats.

and i already have the paint so i would just take it back and get my money back but i dont have a reciept and walmart is gay and wont take shit back with out it now
