Maybe early 94s were prewired? I dunno. But it's possible.

[94 olds vert]

Been a while since I've updated this...

local456 - 96194108.mp4

I made an adapter for my new cluster. I have a couple of things to teak yet, but it works!

[94 olds vert]

Detailed it and wrapped it for the winter.





I order up some new parts for this. New control arm bushings, sway bar bushings, new rear rotors, fuel sender, FFP dog bone bushings, and KYB strut and mounts. Hopefully that will keep me busy for a little while.

Then maybe when I have the tank down I'd like to pull the rear mono-leaf frame and lateral arms and get all of that painted.

[94 olds vert]

Well my poly bushing mods are done up front. Controls arms, sway bar bushing, and dog bone bushings. I also got the trans mount replaced. The car handles so much better now, and the throttle response has been greatly improved.

Next I'm going to do the KYB front struts. Then after that I need to do the rear sway bar and brakes.

[94 olds vert]

It lives. Started right up with a flick of a key.



I've forgotten what it's like to drive a car with this much power. Plus it sounds amazing.



I've missed this car a lot.

[94 olds vert]

Those bushings really help out steering. Get's you some more response.

Used a head light restore kit on these. I think they came out good.

[94 olds vert]

Basically took this bumper cover I had around cleaned it all up. Filled in the rock chips and scrapes.

Then I filled in the dimples for the front license plate bracket. Then I got it ready for paint.

Kinda of a crappy pix, but...





hen today a ton of wet sanding and the first coat of primer.  Tomorrow it will be ready for paint. Can't wait to see it with some color. My current bumper cover isn't the priest thing in the world. Has some spider webs going on and this is a good bumper. Plus it's much cheaper than paying a shop to do this.



I had rock chips in both of the "O"s in the Olds logo. After some careful bondo skills it turned out good.





Picture from last week.

[94 olds vert]

Thanks man. The red leather is awesome.

Nice close up shot of the license plate dimples gone in the bumper.

I've put a lot of hours into the bumper. Make it ever so perfect. I'm still not done yet...lol

[SofaKingWeToddDid]

sexy!

[94 olds vert]

Haha, thanks man



That's it for the bondo. Tomorrow wetsand/primer and then color. Might wait till Sunday to paint it. I'm running low of gas in the garage. I don't think I'll have it warm enough to paint.

Sunday should be near 60 so that will help. Won't take as much gas to warm it up to 80 from 60 then it does 40*.

[94 olds vert]

Lot's of sanding just to get me this far.

When it's all done it should like it just rolled off the line.

I lost track of the days....
Post Merge: April 03, 2012, 06:30:15 PMHere it is done.



Pretty shiny.
Post Merge: April 04, 2012, 02:06:21 PMNo bumper. I have to say I'd rather drive around with no bumper.





Old and new parts.

[94 olds vert]

Still have to get my emblem mounted on.


Post Merge: April 05, 2012, 01:53:35 PMI should detail cars for a living. I bet it I got paid to do it I would hate doing it.

[94 olds vert]

I can't wait for the day when this car is 100% and I can stop updating this thread.
Before:


After:

[94 olds vert]

Had some tint today. 20% around the back and 35% up front. Stupid tint laws.





I'm happy with the way it looks now.

Better pic in the sun.
