Hello from Russia

Hello,

Sorry for my very bad english.

My name is Max.
It is my first american car.
I bought it in February 2010.
1991 year, 5.0 tpi, automatic transmission, targa.

In February, the beginning of a journey from the former owner:





first test drive in the spring:



During this year a little drive by car, but I am buying spare parts for restoration next spring.

I hope that this forum is to me easier and much help during the restoration and repairing of this true american car.

Unfortunately the car is not photographed, but if you are interested, I can do now is not very good picture quality.
I put the car in the winter for storage in a dark warehouse.
Additional eraser on Bohmer and rapids, I do not know what, but seems to be Japanese, no?

We are now in Russia for four days of holidays, so that the photograph is not possible. But that's lucky, find photos from last spring, I'm sorry for the bad quality

I live in Moscow.
the car actually has a funny story.
in 2002 it was bought and brought from the Americas one of the famous Russian singer of the 90's. In Moscow its overhaul with tuning.
In 2006 it was transferred to another Russian city of Sochi for his friend.
In 2009 it moved to the city of Bryansk, but before he could spend the winter, the owner needed some money and I am on the day of filing for sale, I went and bought it.

Re: Hello from Russia

Hi Max / Melkiy

I sent you a personal message (PM). I have a similar bodykit with yours but I am missing the front part of the spoiler (front bumper spoiler). Would you be willing to sell me your whole bodykit or just the front part?

Here's a photo of my car and the missing front spoiler:

and my web page: http://kotisivu.suomi.net/pontiac/ (in Finnish)

Re: Hello from Russia

This is one of the better looking bodykits for these cars. A lot of them were a bit over the top for my liking but this one suits the car quite well.

Melkiy,

If selling the body kit is not an option for you, maybe Red-Devil would be willing to pay for you to get a mould made and sent to him so that he could haveone made up from that? As the front is the part that is most likely to be damaged, it would maybe be something you could both benefit from?

Re: Hello from Russia

I am living in the UK at the moment, and the gas is $2 a litre here. Hence why I feel your $3.60 a gallon price is cheap

I was in the service and they told me that the cost of copies of three parts will cost about $ 500. Are you interested?
