Pete's (Now Nate's) 2003 Denali Budget Build thread

i knew i would be dumping time and money into it. my buddy said he could bang both of them out for me for about $300. i could probably handle the oil pan gasket. she needs an oil change anyways. but the hydroboost does look complicated



haha, right?

Yeah it took about 4 hours of labor for my mechanic buddy to do it at the shop he works for. It was crazy complicated. The hard part for mine was that we weren't posit I've if it was the hydro boost seeping fluid out, or the master cylinder. So we replaced both to be on the safe side. Which parts were expensive.....

i plan on painting it so i have been mocking up paint schemes in photoshop.
this is what i am thinking.
BMW Black on top, GM Bermuda Blue on the bottom. The stripe and wheels stay Pewter Metallic.



realistically it wont be that low. i'm thinking just a 3/4 drop, but you know how that goes

I really like it! Ever see the BMW sapphire black? Friggin nice!

ahh nice. thats a newer black. looks nice too.
the BMW black from the 2000's has always been known as one of the blackest of the black paint codes

Thx. Longest car I've ever owned. Had it since 96-97. Traded my teal 92 Typhoon for it. Bought it with 44,000 miles on it. It just hit 48,000 and I'm on the 3rd rebuild.

I'll tell you what, for having the aerodynamics of a brick, it was fast as hell! 13 sec truck out of the box. It kept breaking down on me and getting me stuck. So I got pissed and traded it for the GN. Wish I would've kept it! Here's the only pic that I have. Pic of a pic. It was a really rare color.
