My first goal was to restore it to stock condition. I've met that and I intend to keep the appearance as stock as possible, from the chrome trim to the fake wire wheel covers. I'm next going to put in an overdrive transmission and in the future I want to do an engine swap. Whatever I have access to at that time will dictate what I do - either the easy route (SBC) or the hard but fancy route (3800 Series II Supercharged).

No matter which way I go with the drive train, it'll look 100% 1984 stock Buick Regal Limited everywhere but the engine bay.

I wanted a track car but I decided to go with the muscle car/low rider look. Little bit of both where I can cruise on air bags but take it to the trackof I have the urge to,,,,,that is if I would be allowed to race it with air bags or hydros in it. Otherwise, I will just lower it, have Dayton rims for cruising and the rims I have now for the track.

I'm going the 'resto/mod/less is more' route with my 87 GP. Get rid of all trim, vinyl top, and opera lights. Black out grille, headlight bezels, etc.. Shave power antenna and trunk lock cover/emblem. Remove black bumper guard thingys. Nice deep dark blue paint, tint, 15" IROC wheels. Minor suspension upgrades, including s10 springs up front, and whatever springs lower it about an inch in the back, thicker front swaybar, and add rear one, and maybe a poly bushing kit. Interior will stay mostly stock. Black out all the wood trim, cheap CD player and 6x9 speakers in the back, instead of the crappy 4x9s. Eventually, I want to switch it to floor shift, with buckets, but that will be further down the road. Performance-wise, I just want the damn thing running! Should be roaring back to life in the next couple weeks. I will keep everyone posted.
