Congrats! That's a great feeling when you hear it start up. Don't get discouraged by the minor set-back - you're doing fine!

yep! it sure feels like i was a little boy who opened up his awesome Christmas gift on Christmas day when it finally fired up after 7 years of being lifeless with dead motor (no oil pressure) and VERY ugly one that is.

Historical stuff is pretty easy if you know where to look. Carfax is a good source to get started and then call a department and ask if they have a historian or a public relations officer to help you out. They can best direct you to who might be able to help you out. Know the approximate years of service and have a note pad ready to take notes. Keep your notes and photos together so you don't misplace anything and you will be able to get your whole restoration notes and all put together for a great scrapbook of the progress and the adventure that you've had. Just some of my thoughts from rereading your posts here. |

Updates...
Hello,
I've not done much to it since it has been running besides fixing idle issues, it's almost completely cured, TPS is the last thing which i will be replacing soon. Already replaced oxygen sensors and cleaned mass air sensor, solved surging idle issue and no more black smokes out of exhaust. Trans has been shifting REAL HARD since day one, it made trans pan to get loose by its bolts and leaked a lot on my carport area... not cool. So i will have it completely rebuild next week so it won't leak anymore which i am looking forward to. My trusty shop tightened up the bolts for 2nd time in a month, it finally stopped leaking so I'll leave her alone until next week so that way no more mess on floor! I used about 3 large jar of trans fluids since she got on the road. So far no luck finding 87-89 regetta blue interior... so i might be restoring my original set with this.. http://www.latemodelrestoration.com/...Interior-Paint Will restore my original seats with new foams and covers and good set of tracks as original ones are obsolete and beyond repairable condition. Anyone have good recommendations for foams and covers to be period correct as much as possible?
