Ruby got new shoes 👀😈

Picked up this set of rims off FB marketplace for a mint $400.. starting to make this build come together. I desperately need to upgrade my brakes though 😅 they do not look pretty under these new rims lol

I was going for the "old photo you post on Facebook reminiscing about that old car you had" vibe.. did I nail it?

The G5 desperately needs to get the summer rims cleaned up.. hopefully this is the last summer they're like that

No one was in the parking garage so I just had to snap a pic

Decided on adding rear mudflaps to the G5 (if you can even notice in this shot 😅)

Made an interesting discovery when I was doing the coolant flush on my G5

On the left is the original factory thermostat, and on the right is the premium replacement from NAPA. The factory had this rubber gasket within the middle of it that ended up getting shredded after years of use. Good thing I was doing the full coolant flush because I ended finding those rubber pieces from the factory thermostat after the initial flushes.

Thankfully everything is working as expected now 👌

Started working on the coolant flush a little too late 😅

On the Cobalts/G5s you need to remove the stock intake in order to access the drain plug on the radiator. Here’s a shot of the engine bay with the intake and plastic cover removed. I’m thinking I may need to fix the broken wire looms and clean it up because it looks so much better without the cover on ouf

Some frost melting in the early morning sun from a few months back, had to snap a shot

My halogen bulb burned out recently, so I upgraded to plug'n'play LEDs. Now I can compete with all the new headlights out there that blind you with their low beams lol

The Pontiac G5 in its original form

This was a few years ago before I had done anything to the car. I had just installed the roof rack in this shot and it kinda kicked off this journey. Excited to share the progress and for the ideas to come!
