    Back in the game. Making progress with this car. It has low miles and everything was there when I took ownership. Just needed a lot of TLC. Entire car needed wetsanding and buff. I've taken care of that for the most part. Refinished the bumpers. Lowered and grabbed a nice set of 18s for it (they needed a lot of TLC too haha).

    Enough talk. Here are some pics:

    From this:

    polishing progress. Paint was pretty ugly at first but it turned out really nice.

    With new 18s:







    Car is never clean... this weather has got to break. Better pics soon.

    Thanks bud. Decided to re-finish the 18s this week while they are off the car. They came out decent the first go around but there were still spots that could be better. Next I'm going to retro some Morimoto projectors into a spare set of housings. That outta wake the front of this car up. Still a lot of parts waiting to go in. More pics to come.

    looks good. its amazing what a buffer will do for these cars. mine was maybe worse then yours in the beginning. now it shines.

    and being my car is all black, no silver trim at all. i went with chrome wheels as a off set, and the rest is all blacked out, tinted windows, and tails, and i tossed a spoiler on the back to help the ass end out.

    sadly, theres not a whole lot to visually to these cars on the out side.

    and lucky for you, you live in the regal masters back yard, Mr BillBoost.

    Scott, I learned many things from Rick about the Regal.

    Rick, you know how it is.. get the parts and we'll get together. Huds are pretty easy for the most part.
    I drink..so consider that when reading my posts.
