I've talked a bit about how the car looked when I got it. A recent thread made me think..I'll show how bad things were when I bought it.
I was looking for a 2000+ Regal, criteria, L36, not black or white, has sunroof and folding rear seat. Max contacted me about a white, l67. Well the body was right. I hopped on it. It was filthy, needed suspension and brakes, had 160K on everything.
Had a few lights on
Avg mpg of 16...lol
Like the cupholder? (note no seat heaters)
Hvac dim
Water stains on both sides of the headliner
Passenger seat had newspaper print on it
Glove box wasn't connected properly
Drivers mirror was bad
Most of the stock chromies leaked
Enough of the bad
Out came the pressure washer
The interior got stripped. Trunk and all were matted with stuff from second skin audio. Inside the doors and trunk lid were sludged.
Pulled out the stock monsoon audio system, amp, wiring, headunit. In went a Pioneer HU, all new wiring, Boston Acoustic 5 channel amp and Boston speakers all the way around including a sub. Backup camera and all goodies.
Amp wire run through the boot and to the battery
Added turn signal mirrors and puddle lights
Power washed carpet, cleaned the seats, added heaters to them with stock switches, good cupholder, HUD, extra power outlets.
Changed the mirror to a Nissan/Maxima one with Homelink
Suspension:
All the rear stuff was swapped out. Toe, lateral and drag links. Upgraded calipers to the 08 ones with ebrake on caliper, GMPP sway with ES urethane bushings, Moog endlinks
More to come
