it is a 1995 Cutlass Supreme SL Series IV sedan (1SD on the spare tire cover RPO sticker). fulley load only options it does not have is the sun roof and the 3.4L dual cam v6. got it from my friend after the rear brake line went out he said F it and offered him scrap value













the rear frame rails are "there-ish" going to re-box them in and weld on 2nd gen trailing arm mounts oddly the frame rails are the only runs on the underside of the car. the front of the fenders and the hood is also rust eaten but meh







before getting to serius with it i wanted to get it running on all 6 cylanders first. when i drove it home with no working brakes it was only running on 4 and wanted to make sure it was nothing mechanical. the plug wires where original so pulled them and sure enough it had original copper core plugs still in there pulled them out and changed them. got back cylander #5 but #2 was still DOA.


noticed 2 and 5 where the same coil and noticed it had carbon tracking going between the posts so went out the the GTX that is 3 feet a way and took the coils form it and swapped them out and #2 stared working agian. car still needs plug wires but it has never run this good in the 5 years my friend has had this car.

the plugs i removed





#2 still has me scratching my head on why the ground strap is bent down like that



plans

fix rear frame rails

fix busted brake lines going to rear

i bought a case fo black primer. i want it to be one color right now it is a mix of crappy dark grey, crappy darck gray with a glitter clear coat, and the factory dark teal metallic

get a driver side door pad and mics switches and knobs

figure out why blower motor no work. the A/C compressor engages so yay

going to do coilovers all round. the monoleaf has some cracks in it and the local yard had some front strut knuckles so i can modify them with out having any down time one the car

and also traded the t-stars from the GTX for these rims




also have the dual exhuast form the GTX (not the SLP catback the normal GP cat back) that i will probably use for this

i used 2nd gen gmpp t/a's on my lumina and had no problems with any of the mounts, (they fit in like they were made for the car) -this is not a rust joke. lol

[Chris]

Those TA mounts look just like mine did!

[Mater]

yeah there a bit crunchy

deleted the washer bottle today it did not work and was cracked at the bottom. i also never use them on any of my cars any way. also put on the filter i have from the GTX on. ricer math says it gained 50 billion horse powerz



it needed a filter any way

here are some better pictures. it shows the front damage a bit better. it needs a drivers door even though it is in good shape with no rust not even on the bottom of the door it's creased. sesne there are so many 4dr w-bodies in the yards i am not worried







yes it has a trailer hitch with wiring. there is also a trailer brake controler as well lol that is going in the merc

i found both rear quarters for $100 going to order them even though i only need a small patch from them the extra metal is good to have
Post Merge: October 31, 2011, 10:31:55 AMthat car also needs a FPR.

[Chris]

The quarters don't look bad at all, those fenders on the other hand, wow!

My z34 had a hitch and a prodigy P3 brake controller. They're one of the most expensive ones out there. I used it for a battery gauge. Haha
