  1. Also, quick update before parts ordering starts, I just found the brilliance of rock auto. They even have my window weather stripping. I'm totally down Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G920A using Tapatalk
  2. I will be sure to check that out. And yes it came with wheel covers. All one of them. And yes she's a heavy one Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G920A using Tapatalk
  3. Hey everyone. So if you read my introduction, you know I bought this car (coined the Master Blaster) for 500 dollars a month or so ago. The car is a Brougham, and sports a hugely under powered Chevy 305ci engine, with a 700r4 transmission. The radiator was absolutely trashed when I bought it, with vanes literally falling off. Also , the alternator got a new replacement. Right now, she's on a lift getting an alignment . Issues prevailing now are: 1. Passenger side wiper works when it wants to. 2. I have a suspicion that at least one head gasket has a hairline crack. Short burst of blue smoke during startup after sitting 4+ hours. No fluid mixing, very little coolant loss as well, but the radiator shop found exhaust gases in the cooling system. A motor rebuild/swap are probably not too far off. 3. Just talked to the alignment shop and the lower ball joints are done. Plus the idler arm. 4. Only the defroster works. No AC either. 5. Thermostat/temp sensor/sending unit. 6. Minor body work/passenger side mirror. 7. All new weather stripping. Front two doors leak, and the trunk leaks. She runs and drives decently but I'm trying to get as much done mechanically by winter. The car sat for 13 years and I'm wondering if maybe that's why the head gasket went? Thanks for reading, and I will be posting updates as they come in. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G920A using Tapatalk

  7. Hey guys! My name is Kris, and I just scored with a 1985 Parisienne a few weeks ago. Paid 500 for it, replaced radiator and alternator, and she runs strong! Nice to meet everyone, have a good one! Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G920A using Tapatalk
