What did you do to your other car?

Detailed this one too! For what it's worth, I will NEVER have another black rig!

For some reason I've always liked the EXP/LN7's currently I have three of them. I have an 84 turbo coupe, an 85 turbo coupe,and an 88.5 luxury coupe. I had an 87 sport coupe but I sold it a few years back.

The one I've been playing with is my 88.5 LC, it started out with a 1.9l TBI. When I was 19 i converted it to MPFI and put in a 1.9l HO, a few years later I took the high compression hemi pistons out and swapped them for some dished pistons to drop the compression ratio then put on a turbo and intercooler.

Then life got in the way and the car has been basically bouncing around from place to place in storage ever since.
 
Gas tank and sending unit are IN!!! Another few little items and we'll be cruisin' the Valiant!!!
 
96 motor in my 92. New cps, tps, water pump, fuel filter, better welds on my bumper and now my catalytic is acking up. So new one tomorrow. Busy couple days
 
Teresa did a bunch to the Valiant yesterday! Replaced seals @ windshield wiper posts (which entailed pulling instrument cluster, dropping steering column, and standing on her head w/one foot out the driver's window!!! Or so it seemed)... replaced defroster vents, and repaired defrost hoses leading to vents... in the process of taking wiper transmission out, we destroyed one of the bushings that connect the arms together... after cussing and yelling and wondering what the f to do now, I spied my '76 Ramcharger... same year, its
's a frickin' Mopar... so we tore into it and, PRESTO!!! It donated those to the cause! Next item on the list is to install the new carpet kit, the seats, and to attatch the new dash cap! A friend is coming over to trim the leading edge of front fenders to clear the new tires, then she'll be driveable!!! Can't wait!!! Ramcharger already gave up it's very healthy 360 four barrel motor to the car... should scoot right down the road now!!! ( Have already done a couple burnouts in the driveway... she is gonna be SAWEET!!!
 
It's ALIVE!!!! Teresa drove the Valiant around the neighborhood today!!! She came in the house with a big s%&t-eating grin on her face afterword... she's happy!!!
 
Installing carpet, dash cap, seats and rear package shelf today... that should about do it! I feel like crap for not being much help.... frickin' broken-ass body... but Teresa's doing great! At least she can still utilize my grey matter!!! lol
 
I wonder if Overhaulin' only does SoCal cars... :party:
 
Search and Restore goes Nation Wide!
Oh....OH....!!!! PIMP MY RIDE!!!!....lets get some dubs on that thing and a fish tank in the trunk!!! There's nothing like a Valiant with a flat screen in the roof! (lol)
 
Went to dinner in Albany... what did
we drive? Yup!!! The Valiant!!! Still a
few small issues to take care of, but
we did it!!! Well, she did most of it...
LOL...
