Now that the Olds has become a 100% garage queen (rain, whats that?) its enjoying the new found classic status is going though a sort of minor restoration that will include cosmetics as well as some minor under hood, under side repairs. Its going all factory correct right down to the colors and radio.

-Repair Wheelwell Rust Hole
-Replace Battery
-Replace ALL Window Motors
-Replace Tires
-Replace Wiper Blades

-Replace Fuel Pump And Sending Unit (It's About To Go)

Now for the want list:

So much for a $500 car, but I don't mind putting time and money in it.

I went to a junkyard last saturday and picked up a set of pirelli tires for 100$ with only a few hundred miles on them, and got a job while i was at it
got my oil filter and had to get new windshield wiper arms and blades cause mine were original lol (believe that)
ordered new edelbrock shocks from jegs.com last night, and tommoro me and a few of my drinking buddies are stripping a 83 caprice classic thats been sittin in my friends woods for awhile for some other useful stuff... more specifically... wheel studs, front seat, Air intake temp sensor, and maybe a few extra rims would come in handy ... bottom line though, i need a new car... gas is too expensive and its only getting worse.

I can cross #5 the grill emblem off my list.

hmmm. what to do first, well i'm going to replace my breaks, rebuild my trasmission reverse is going out, add a brand new cd player, get a new driver side mirror fix the doors, and then add the headboard. The cars exterior is great but the interior needs work.

Sorry for bringing this back up...but...

Things left to do...

The Body:
-Patch rest of holes on the body
-Get it bondoed, smoothsanded, and painted
-Sand off the rust on the control arms
-Undercoat the underside
-Wet-sand and buff
-Make new battery tray

Engine:

-Clean fuel-injectors
-Replace fuel filter again (long story)
-Run some computer diagnosis to figure out some idling issues

Interior:
-Find that damn pesky waterleak
-Wire up new headunit
-Buy and install door speakers (The DHD ones didn't fit too well, so put them in the rear...)
-Shampoo the carpet and door panels, they are like black from dirt, lol.

PPG line. Forget what kind, but it's a cheaper kind, but holds up very well to the elements. It was used on a work truck that sat out in the elements for a year or so and still looks great. Why you ask?

yea...that's what we use at school....good shit.
