while im patiently waiting to find a qp for my 84 ltd regal #1 i came across another 84 ltd without the ladau top which i like..pretty much a runner but a bit worn out, i bought it so i had a regal to drive again 😀 , first thing to be done will be the rear body mounts/bushings and maybee at the same time i,ll fix the rust on the ps qp..not going to worry about the stock 305 atm it runs ok and it has a 200r4 which is cool and will go with a 3.73 posi i picked up..heres a few pics

Looking like not that bad of a car. sh*t looks better then my Monte. I like that two tone paint, is that factory?
 
i do believe its factory paint..i dig it as well, its a solid enough car but definatly needs all the bodymount bushings(first job after i can make it stop :lol: ) and lots of tlc overall but a good base for a project..tommorow will be throwing in a new master cylinder as there is no fluid going to rear..rear had a popped brake line and i figured a new line would fix the problem..nope..lol, should be easy i thought..famous last words..lmao
thanx

I absolutely love the drag-lites on these cars. Nice ride!
thanx man, ya the draglites look so right, its a diamond in the ruff..needs a bit of everything but should be a good spring project..wish i had a garage
 
If that is the worst of your rust, you got nothing to worry about. The drag lites look sweet, probably one of the best wheels for a g body. I also am digging the 2 tone. Are you going to get buckets or leave the 60/40? I think either would look good on this car.

thats about it for body rust..frame at the bodymounts right behind the wheelwell are a bit rotted but theres enough there to weld some big washers in,..while under the car fixing the brake line had a good look under at the frame and its not rotted anywhere else and could see all the body mount bushings are worn out but i have a new bushing kit and those will be started on this upcoming week..right now its pretty rattly and loose..lol i think new bushings will help alot, i would like to do the x brace behind the seat too. yes i would like to find buckets and consul shift..my other has a b&m pro race and shift kit..i like to shift manualy lots of fun but not gonna worry about that till i find a sbc probably a 350 to replace the tired 305..yes i love the wheels you cant go wrong with those draglites they make any car look mean..they came with the car so that was awsome..if i would of store bought them i would of maybee opted for 16"s but they definatly the kind i would of bought
thanx
