Why buy new when you can restore?

Welcome to the site! Post up some pictures of your truck when you get a chance.
:rollin: Thanks Brian! I'll see what I can do.

Good job Matt! Patience paid off. :)

Is that a bottle of Mobil 1 on the passenger floor?
Yes, it did. :)

No Nick, it isn't. That some Dexron VI. Trans was a little low when I bought it and I didn't want to chance it.
:lolup:
Car looks fairly decent. Good to see you back around. :thumbs:
It's nice to be back. I'll be back more when work (hopefully) resumes on both trucks.
I think you meant Nu Ride. :D2

Always liked the Bonnevilles. :cheers:
Honest, it's a really comfortable car. The power is there and it's actually really easy to stay out of boost (boost gauge hardly ever gets to 0 (it goes from -10 to 10) in town; I have had it up to 8 or 9 when getting on the interstate hard). The only thing I don't like is the back seat doesn't fold down so no hauling long objects unless it is just a shovel/rake handle or a couple 2x4's. There's a small opening in the middle designed for "trunk access". But I really don't need to worry about that with 2 trucks. :D

It'll be really nice to always have 2 vehicles driving (the car all the time and alternating trucks with the seasons). I feel more at ease now that I don't always have to have my trucks back together to be able to drive the next day. :) My mom said that if she ever asks to borrow a vehicle that I better not say no. :lol:

Are you guys cool with the link or should I post more pics on here?
(please note the horrifying spark plugs and redone headlights)

Sweet Deal Matt!
I was wondering where the heck you were.....:D

I'm hoping :)fingersx:) to pull out the seats, console, and carpet (at least) this weekend. Right now only the front passenger floor is wet. I think, and am praying, that it is only the sunroof drain that has come loose. :(
