Thanks. NO plan of any kind ... (and I'm not into shows) ... It's just a "Barn Car". I have another Regal I got 32 years ago (new), ... Then I came across this one so I couldn't resist. (I worked at a dealership at that time for many years ...)

As soon as the front fillers are done (nearing 6 weeks re. this problem alone) ... I will install a new Bumper and pop it on the road one time or too an see if it's right ... * I hope the Turbo functions (as a new one is impossible to find !). In this entire project, the Front Fillers are my greatest "war" to accomplish ... getting them to fit (after chopping) is something I'd wish on no-one.

Thanks so much for encouragement! (All) 😀 *PS: YES about the Springs ! :lol:

That is a sweet looking car.

I applaud your attention to detail!

Looks sharp!

Is that a factory non a/c car, or did you swap that in?
I've never seen a non a/c turbo car, but that doesn't mean they don't exist...

ALL Factory orig. (no A/C from the beginning) The only option on the car was a the Turbo "Sport Coupe" Package ... It had an AM Radio and no clock (until I decided to install one). "Even no rear de-fog" !

I sure appr. your comments ! "Thanks" ... 🙂

There was a car similiar to that one, only 1979, for sale near here recently. It was a bit rough, but it was all there, and the seller was asking $900.00, I believe.
