Thread: $700 Racebonne

this car was barely running when I got it lol

oh ya I hear ya, that sucks

I buffed out the fender real quick to see how the paint is under all the dust/dirt.

make this thing stupid fast

From the fender clean up, looks like it has potential.

I disagree, I think a bonne would be perfect as a DD. the gp pales in comparison.

Nice now sell it to me.

Replaced the junk coils with even worse coils. lol.

Mmmmmmm a Bonneville....
Yikes, the fuel door rust...does it have a case of hood herpes as well?

the msd coils work though boosten so I call them a win lol.

Yes it has under-hood herpes. I will be keeping this car until it dies for good probably lol..

Nice Bonne, lucky find!

Well I got it all buttoned up and took her for a drive around the block, ran goooooddddd for a 200k+ mile car. Had to change coils, icm, wires, and plugs but its good to go now.

Issues found on test drive: Needs aligned, brakes are warped, and 1 rear strut is out of the top mount and the other rear looks like it is near new? lol

Check the rear sub because that gas door decay looks severe.

you'd be surprised the rest of the car isn't that bad at all. the previous owner must have loved to let the gas pour all over the car after fueling up..

Awwww yeaahhhhhh. More Bonnevilles. Good god those seats... That tank rust is bad too, but not the worst I've seen. Eager to see more progress.

I have no idea how to get that "stuff" off the seats. the previous owner was a smoker and its like some sort of smokers crap

Tuff stuff works wonders.
