blacked out 86 regal

[vonclod]

so i was doing the math of fixing up my cars and the #s were getting big and happened upon a blacked out ride with only 75,000 orig kms or 46,000m..just a pretty bare bones v8 car bench and colum but it rides like new, real clean and paint is pretty good..also has a t type hood and trunk lid..chick that owned it :shock: was going for the gn clone thing..which i never really had an interest in(clone) but its a nice ride anyway
no dry storage for my other cars and in their condition just going to deteriorate so a bud of mine is taking #2 and another is interested in #1(tough decision)..but i can take the mtr/trny, consul , b&m shifter and lowering springs and put into the new one..i think i'd like my american racing 16"s on the new car as well..dont care for the 18"s it came with not my cup of tea..and she needs lowering bad..lol

Nice looking Regal. Those 18's might not look to bad after you put some lowering springs on it.

thanx, ya i was thinking the same..well they would look better for sure tucked in a bit..im trying to find some hub centric spacers so i can run my american racing 16's but if lowered i could maybee live with the 18's..the idea of spacers scares me due to my previous experience but im going to put it down to operator error and use longer studs and better fitting spacer, and use a torque wrench..hell i might just weld the spacer to the back of the rim..lol..i did really like the look and ride on my other reagal with the 16s
thanx for the replies it is a really clean solid car for sure its been well cared for..i think lowering first then maybee do away with the single exhaust into 2 and get a true dual setup with flowmaster 40's and it will feel like mine 8) ..wont have to put much money into this car as i have most of the goodies already

i will let you know the offset in the next day or so when i remove them, they are boss rims..not sure the model# and i think 18"x8.5"
they are coming off for sure..my transmission doesnt seem to like them with the hyw gears this car has..the transmission seems to not know if it should be in 3rd of 2nd, spends time in 3rd when the revs are too low and i have to manually drop it into 2nd cruising around..im figureing the gear ratio is just too low with the bigger wheels so im going to throw my 15" draglites off the other car till i get my 16rs ready and see if that makes a difference..i do have a new 3.73 posi for this car but going to be a few monthes till it goes in.

thanx for all the comments guys its a clean ride for sure
