Hello.. iv got my first v8 for about 7month`s ago.. i buy this car from a friend...

a oldsmobile delta88 1979 royale.. now with only a 307olds enging with 5A headers.

i have 1 other projeckt in my garage but i have not garage for both.. this car have been standing outside since iv pick it up..
when i pick it up with my friend (he lives about 5 hours with car from me) the olds stod still inside his garage about 1 year... so when i got there i change oil and rubber around the oil pan on the gearbox, fix some small stuff, check the oil.. started up and drive long way home hehe..it was a fun trip.. and with free exhaust to and just 1 headlight in front.. :lol:

the car goes very good all the way home... the last 100m the engine starts to be impure (sorry if my english is a little bad)

well..i found out it was much dirt in the gas tank.. cause i have overhaul the carburetor now.. and it was much dirt inside!!..

well some picture.. when the olds was blue and nice.. many years ago...
now its darkred and look ugly..but a cool car anyway.. soon i will buy some black 10x15" rims with 255/60/15" tires.

You are doing a great job.
Thank you for fixing and appreciating a car that most Americans would throw into the trash pile.
