Hi all, I recently bought a 90 TGP that had been sitting since 2001. Time wasn't kind to it for sure. The seats are shot, the paint is baked but I still like the old thing. I spent a day buffing and cleaning it up , and generally seeing what I have here. The guy I got it from had swapped in a new fuel tank, new filter and had gotten it running. He had attempted a brake booster swap but that was where I picked it up. In the last week, I gathered the parts I needed and over this weekend I swapped in a hydroboost brake setup from scavenged junkyard parts. Even with the old pads and rotors, this thing stops amazingly! I plan to do a full write up as I took pics during the swap. I had a black 90 TGP many years ago and loved that car, and always vowed to have another. This one may be rough, but I'm still going to enjoy driving it!

My formula: Rockauto(and/or Ebay) + manual(and/or Youtube) + tools(Yay, new tools!) + w-body.com(of course!) + elbow grease = running 1st gen (233k miles and counting) + personal satisfaction of doing it myself + tools (because I get to keep them, it's on this side of the equation too!).

Yeah. That's terrible. Good luck next time. Since you are going to keep the car for a long time, i suggest you learn how to work on it and start fixing it yourself. If you dont already have one, I suggest you find a GM shop manual for the car. And it would also help to get a beater car for daily duties.
