Fixing up my buick...

I got an 85 buick that has been sitting for months and it time to get started on it. Any ideas on how i should fix it up??
Paint that you think i might like? interior styles and colors? Rims and tires? Just overall advice on what should i improve first. Also post just for shits, giggles and input of anykind.

Lol I have a buick as well. 92' LeSabre

Haha nice cant wait! Are you an MTX or KICKER man? I like both but im more on the MTXside.

Kenwood 1000W and 2x12 JL W3's.. my brothers old setup, it's old, but it puts out some real nice sound. Been thinking about getting a new amp though as the Kenwood one is getting kind of old (6 years+)

Yeah you might need to go and do that. Even if your not gonna put it on right away, since your old one is bound to burn out some time aways.

Yeah it cuts out every now and then, but I don't plan on spending too much dough until i start working seriously (which is in the summer)

Ha yeah, well i cant wait to see the pics and good luck with it.

You need to be over hauled !

My advice? Don't put a penny more into it then you need to to make it safe and mechanically sound. Anything beyond that would be throwing good money after bad.

Well im planning to go as far as i can to turn a profit later and use that for a down payment on a new car, mind you this is not gonna happen till a few years.

Lol i couldnt have a car

That suck but i guess your gonna get there some day.

nah i got a truck already ill post pics later when its not coverd in snow its an 04 ford f250

I would deff. do some repairings, since you want to make a profit on it.

Make sure there can't get any corrosion (is that how you say it) on your car, since it will be worthless when it does happen.

So repairs any cracks; take care of a paintjob. And then look if you want to spend anymore money on it. It's your car, so your choice

Yeah, Just need to wait for income tax to come in so i can get a brand new engine for my car, nothing too big, probably just a v6 (I'm more of a cruiser than an racer).

it had no heater, no radio, no cd player, droopy ceiling, horrible gass mileage, back seatbelts we're broken, right back door had no handle. ect ect.. feels nice to have a heater AND listen to music in a car
