Now that the weather has cooled from $$#@! hot to warm, it is a great time of the year to start on the 87. here are a few of how I found it to start the thread off.....
![]() engine didn't run.... ![]() interior was in really bad shape! ![]() ![]() pulled engine for a rebuild and cleaned and prepped the compartment... ![]() a little paint.... ![]() fresh motor! ![]() I started the body work and ended up just painting the front. I was eager to drive it so I put it together, looked odd with the blue front end! ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() so today I ripped into the interior, and started sanding the body down for a new regatta blue coat! while I was tearing the nasty carpet and seats out I decided to take the dash out and put a new heater core in. Oh yeah, while I was driving it the supposed rebuilt AOD started giving me serious problems, a rebuild would have cost me over 1K! I purchased a complete 5 speed change over for almost half that. It now sports a manual trans! ![]() Up next is some painting! |

Regatta and Bimini blue are my favorite colors on a coupe. I had a non-SSP 92 Bimini coupe until it was taken out by incompetent dodge van driver. :/

Here are some pics of the latest progress. Paint is done. I am working on the wiring mess, trying to get the wig/wags and strobes functional.
![]() In the booth.... ![]() Regatta blue base coat ![]() Clear coat.... ![]() Here are a few interesting details. The special dome lamp had a pale red lens, or so I thought, until I took it off to take out the old headliner. I found this in the lens! ![]() ![]() I think this wire was for the trucked radio system. Does this look familiar to anyone? ![]() The glove box was cut out for the radio head unit, maybe? ![]() One of the things I love about Arizona cars, zero rust! The floors are perfect. ![]() ![]() ![]() This is a fun build. Can't wait to drive it! |
