Arizona blues
Now that the weather has cooled from $$#@! hot to warm, it is a great time of the year to start on the 87. here are a few of how I found it to start the thread off.....
engine didn't run....
interior was in really bad shape!
pulled engine for a rebuild and cleaned and prepped the compartment...
a little paint....
fresh motor!
I started the body work and ended up just painting the front. I was eager to drive it so I put it together, looked odd with the blue front end!
so today I ripped into the interior, and started sanding the body down for a new regatta blue coat! while I was tearing the nasty carpet and seats out I decided to take the dash out and put a new heater core in. Oh yeah, while I was driving it the supposed rebuilt AOD started giving me serious problems, a rebuild would have cost me over 1K! I purchased a complete 5 speed change over for almost half that. It now sports a manual trans!
Up next is some painting!
