Welcome to the site, changing everything would be your best bet in terms of how long the repairs will last, but it can get costly. I would 1st decide how long I want to keep the car for and then decide how much should I put into it. What ever you do those are awsome cars (and among the last Olds convetrables).
Well, she's a forever car for me. Been looking for one for years and finally came across this one from a friend at work. He tried talking me out of buying it, but only cost $800, so not a bad deal at all. I'm figuring I will end up replacing the entire top, the bottom part of the vinyl to the back window won't come even close (about 1/2 inch clearance), so a new top is in the works. Probably the number 5 thing on my list right now. I'm prepared to put over $4,000 into it to get it back to tops. She's my dream car! Can you believe I got rid of a 2005 Mustang for this? Just sold her yesterday. *sigh* Loved that car, too. Just not the payments.
