It is a factory optioned 5.0 V8 gli, bought it because I always wanted a V8, but with our new baby wanted a wagon and a tow car for when we take my Fairmont to the track.

camera ran out of battery so thats about it.

as we bought it the previous owner spent a bit:
bolle tints
17 x 8's with 235/45
new shocks all round
slotted front rotors
new coolant hoses through engine bay
stereo
headers with 3" single - sounds very nice

my plans
lower 30mm
sort out rattles in dash
fix smart lock
enjoy the long drives in the country, no plans for more power (yet?) want to keep reliability as long as possible.

I saw a few when I was looking for my wagon. But yours is by far the better one I have seen.
