Going under the knife....

Well i finally have almost all the parts i wanted for my 1997 GXE with every option, so i put her in the shop. Although she was taken care of I decided the whole suspension needed to be redone so i got LCA's, strut mounts, boots, bumps stops, KYB AGX's. springs, tie rod end links, inner/outer control arms, A new condenser, drier and of course new gas will be put in can't wait! After that she will go to paint to touch up the bumpers, paint the front stillen lip, put on the half size rear window spoiler, remove wind deflector and she should be more or less where i want her =). Going for a looks and handling thing as opposed to performance. Will eventually do headers and a y-pipe down the line but for now this will do.
