Finished repair



Primed and Sealed.


Black then Red painted on top.



Finished product. I didn't want the Pontiac badge on the front so I made my own grille from a Cobalt donor grille that I dissected.


Hope you enjoy.
That looks awesome. Good job man.

I have yet to see a built f23... unless you're saying he should swap to an f35 it's just not worth it to go to the f23 and not even have an option of getting it built up

personally, i believe stock for stock, the f23 can take more. 500+ HP cavaliers have run them and been fine. i think a stock f23 with cryo treated gears could hold his power, as long as he doesnt go crazy on it.

this may be true. I haven't had any problems yet (knock on wood) and I'm even running a spec clutch which I've only heard horror stories about lol. I launch at the track at 4,000 rpms on drag radials too and still going strong

Your lucky you arent having issues. Mine chattered like hell, and after 40k miles was junk. Right down to the rivets.

If you want to figure out how to do that go right on ahead...
Have to completely swap out the wiring harness...

If theres someone willing to take on that kind of work which I'm not gonna end up paying 5 grand for then let me know. lol
