I just bought a clean body 81 regal today that has a/c and power steering. I plan to retrofit all of this into the engine build. I was lucky enough to find a complete car with good trim.

This thing is amazing underneath. No rust, not even a spot. The Landau roof is coming off. All of the parts are there. Even the bumper fillers are in good condition.

 

[Mike Diaz]

Yes, i tried taking the picture at the same angle.

This is such a cool thread. Are u trying to clone the black and silver car? If so I have the correct grille, like the one pictured. It's off an 83 T-type. The black and silver car must be an 81-83 and the Dew car an 84-85? Header panels are different.

 

[Mike Diaz]

Yes. I have a few pictures to go off of. I have. A pretty good idea on what it's supposed to look like. Its a silver base with light maple trim. Red pinstripes and I'm trying to see if there's a yellow stripe above the burgandy color going down the side of the car. Is there any chance you can send a picture of the grille?i can pm you my number.

 

[turboclam]

Sure, PM your number and I'll text them. I also have the chrome/black headlight bezels too.

Progress this week!

Transmission is clean and i saved the Rossi sticker.

We spent a few hours cleaning up the block and heads.

Then we gutted the 81. Look how clean the floor is. I bought a T Type interior. The seats are being reupholstered this week.

Then ripped the landau roof off.

Cool, I'm glad I found this thread (I usually stay in the Before Black section ). This is the "Sunday Driver" car. Hot Rod did a three part series on hopping up a 1981 Turbo Regal. Afterward, they put the Gale Banks twin turbo in and ran low 13's with it on pump gas. Kenne-Bell, Banks and Doug Roe built this engine.

Kudos to Mike fo finding a 1981 Regal to put his thing into.

Hot Rod built up the car with the factory Turbo V6 in April, June and July 1981 issues. The twin turbo engine was featured in their August 1982 issue. Musclecar Review did a nice write in July 2007.
