What did you do to your G-Body today? [2011-2018]

[Slowpoke]

Went to basically the only junkyard worth a damn that I know of today and grabbed some wires I needed for my Regal as well as the little clips that hold the purge cannister down. Must've lost mine in during the engine transplant(s). First one to guess what all of the wires are/are for gets a virtual cookie of their choice. Also took some pics of some of the cooler cars there. There was also an 80s 4 door Bonneville that has the jounce+GP bars that I will be coming back for, providing it's there next time.

Lastly, I spotted this regal (not for parts, sadly) that bears an uncanny resemblance to mine. Exactly the same in everyway, minus the gold pinstripe. Mine is silver. Also spotted a regal hood and decklid sitting on a truck. Decklid was kinda bent.

If you go back, can you double check the quality of the regal taillights?

Well didn't do anything to the car per say, but I did order fiberglass front and rear bumpers from kirban performance for my build.

looks like you are installing or powering up an electric choke.

I got some more sh*t bolted on. It is absolutely amazing how you can hide bolts from yourself!

I got lucky on this one, pulled it straight out my booty hole! I bent the pulling bracket on the vise, then bolted it up. Check the clearance, Clearance!

Regal isn't for parts. Shame. It's a nice car.

From left to right:
Partial vacuum line for HVAC controls.
231 Oil Pressure Sender Connector... thing. For the electric choke.
Little wire harness for Blower High Speed, green wires go to the compressor. Red is hot all the time.
2 wire loom bulkhead connectors. Hey, might as well grab em.
Partial water/heater valve vacuum line.
Hot wire to HEI. Mine is spliced with some random same gauge wire I found to elongate it for the V8 swap. It's been annoying me. Ideally I'd want a whole solid wire, but until that time, this will have to do.
Factory Choke wire/connector.
Blower Motor resistor plug, old one was melted on the light blue terminal.
Ground wire+tab for blower motor.

All that for $5.30. And Rock Auto wanted $10 plus shipping for just the resistor plug. pfft.

I'll keep my virtual cookie. Thanks for playing.
