Hey Guys,

Ive been lurking now on G body forum for a few months and figured it was about time I introduce myself and actually make a post.
Ive been slowly working on an 84 Regal i had acquired from a buddy. he crashed at my place for a month and didn't have cash to pay me back. So he gave me his uncles 84 Regal that he inherited.

The car is a total basket case. Rocker rust, a bit of frame rot, and the vinyl top was pretty much rotten off.

I have been slowly gathering parts and pieces for the car about as cheap as possible.
The rims are off of my grandfathers S10 Xtreme, I swapped out the smokey/sludgy 305 and 200M for a low mileage TBI 350 and 700R4 out of a 91 2wd pickup.

Even though I needed another project in my life like I needed another hole in my head, this thing kept me sane and gave me something to do while recovering from ACL reconstruction and a meniscus repair.
Ive included a few pictures of the car. I cant seem to find any from the day i brought it home but it was a total mess,

Nice to be onboard and hope to share some updates on my progress with the car.

-Blane

My wife swapped wheels with my gramp's a few years ago. She ended up putting C4 swablades on her S10 so we had these laying around. Kinda worked out in my favor haha. The top situation has been less than favorable.....
