Car Fix DIY Videos

I have been working on some of my other cars lately. I bought another Pontiac in an effort to get a ‘daily driver’ to save some fuel on long trips. I went to the dealer and found this car. There is really nothing good about it except no rust, a clean cloth interior, and all the parts are there. I will replace all four hubs, brakes, fix a few vacuum leaks, install a new stereo with backup camera, new tires, transmission solenoid and shift kit, drop and tank and replace the tank pressure sensor, thermostat and fix and oil leak followed by an oil change. This car is a mess, and after I am done I will hopefully make a good driver car out of this SUV.
