Interestingly enough, since you said that, I went digging around and found the original front air dam. :D Dusted off the 29 years of cobb webs, bolted it on and....Tada ! Front air dam. This car is getting cooler by the week :cool:

Good Old Martin-Senour from NAPA

An interesting note...I actually painted the car with the original laquer paint my dad bought back in 82 and had kept stored in his basement. Cracked open the can and stirred it up. They sure dont make paint like that anymore.

Thanks for the complements ! Yea, I forgot the trunk was full-o-car parts when I took off to take these pics....:redface:

Found them in the LayitLow.com forums from a guy in Cleveland. Paid $200 for the pair including matching rear inserts. Seemed like a good deal, especially since after 3 months searching I couldnt find any with the complete wood grain inserts. They are a darker gray than what probably was...

Well, another good day on the Regal. Got both door panels on today ! :D I didn't have my originals, but I found these which are a pretty close match. Anybody know if these are the correct year door panels for an 82 ?

Have to admit, don't know how long I can go with the stock exhaust, can barely tell if it's running...gonna work on that this spring. Took it out of the garage and down the street for the first time in 28 years :eek: YouTube - Trip around the hood I'm diggin it.. :cool:

Thanks for all the help.. After close inspection of wiring harness/bulhead connector and wiring diagram, I found where it goes.. It wall pulled completly out of the connector, thats why I couldn't find a mating wire or pigtail to match it up to. See pic for location. Thanks again...Jeff

Thanks, I'll need to check which kind I have, safety first. Any idea where the other end of the wire comming from the prop valve connects to? Mine was cut off and hanging..:eek:

Getting a little closer now, engine is installed, most wiring complete. Hopefully a week or 2 to run time...can't wait :D Got a question:confused: Got a brown/white wire comming from brake proportioning valve that was cut and I can't find where it goes...any help appreciated

Oh Sure...remind me of something else to do..LOL..:p Actually, I should check those out, and I did all the fluids but just remembered I forgot to drain and refill the 28 year old diff fluid...Doh !

FINALLY..the engine is in..:biggrin::D:biggrin::D Now comes the task of remembering where everything hooks up, probably won't put the front clip on till next week, and then...Yeee-Haw
