DiscoStudd Posted May 22, 2005 Report Share Posted May 22, 2005 Well, seeing as I'll have a garage as of 6/1, I'll finally be going to town on the Regal: -Install the KYB struts, mounts, and boots that I've had since February. -Replace the rear brake pads & rotors. -I'll be re-painting and installing a factory W-Body rear sway bar (need to find a "nutsert" kit for cheap first.) -Install the Grand Prix gauge cluster I have with a ProCarParts "Reverse OTTO" overlay (complete with a modified Cutty headlight switch pod housing the controls for the OTTO overlay.) -If I can scrape enough money together this summer, I'll be mounting some skins on my 17" Eagle 192 wheels and mounting them on the car as well. Next year (hopefully) : -Birchmount rear leaf spring and Intrax front coils -If I don't scrape enough money together to repaint the Regal, I'll at least get the hood and decklid repainted 'cause the paint is peeling something fierce on both... Next winter (Fall '06-Spring '07) : L67 swap, baybee! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

THe_DeTAiL3R Posted May 23, 2005 Report Share Posted May 23, 2005 - paint my polished crosslace when my friend gets them done - fix up rust spots (inluding licence plate.. lol) - repaint the peeling spoiler - detail the exterior - steam clean the interior That's likely all I plan on doing to this thing, just making it look good cause I don't wanna spend any real money into it.

Guest TurboSedan Posted May 23, 2005 Report Share Posted May 23, 2005 Some other exhaust mod's that's not mentioned would those other "exhaust mods" by any chance have anything to do with a turbine, downpipe & wastegate? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
