thinking about fixing up a car

Top Cat

a 2003 seville like this, but not exactly the same color



I love the body style and overall look of the car
you can add little subtle things to it to make it stand out yet look respectful
plus i love wide body cars since i drive a 05 monte carlo

thinking of buying one as a 2nd car and putting some dough into it
put some new electronics into it, better alarm system, and replace any old parts under the hood


thoughts on my project?

i love caddy's....but fuck buying them parts.....your bread might be longer than mine tho....it should turn out nice

im about to flip my crown vic next year....strictly performance wise....might do some interior work and throw some steelies on him...

Top Cat

yeh i was go cop a used 08 lincoln mkz straight cash
(if you know the story of the ant and grasshopper then you know how it is to save)

but then i thought why not fix up something i luv and keep it forever
that body type will never go out of style and down here in texas its appreciated

caddy parts might be a lil more costly then my chevy parts but in the end its worth it

HAF BAYKED

oh u in texas?....yeah u cant go wrong

Top Cat

yep just moved back in september so i will defiantly find some nice cars for cheap

I always respect llacs.
Since I move to Texas I see a lot of clean ones.
But an old llac is Going to run u on maintenance. So much electronic stuff that breaks. Sideways v8 under the hood. Hard to work on.
Believe that. So be ready.

I am..tryna do research now

FWD V8's are not the move. There's a reason GM went for RWD in the CTS.

That said, the STS was a slick ass looking car. More power to you, but that wouldn't be me.

@koncepjones

I just looked up that ls
Nice body style
From what I saw, there are ccheaper to buy and look like they can hold higher miles on them..

What else should I know

The Lincoln LS... I'm not sure those are widespread issues tho. The only reason I didn't buy one is because I found an Infiniti Q45 first.

I got a 99 for $5000... I'd fix it up if I didn't work at Target.

It must've been loaded with low miles

LS400

Lincoln

I own a Lincoln LS, they drive like dreams.

Top Cat

So would that caddy

What year yo Lincoln

Lincoln

2001, v8 engine.
not a fan of caddys, but to each his own. v8 sedans are definitely the shit tho

Top Cat

At first I wanted a Pontiac g8 them shits are a beast but they hard to come by without being less then 12k

But a wide body is my type of car

I was in a Audi r3 n I felt like deebo in there

konceptjones

Lincoln LS = Jaguar S-Type.

Get the V8 LS and drop a supercharger on it and run it into the low 13's/high 12's.

Top Cat

I'll see how much all that cost

Top Cat

Just bought the 03 Seville
130k miles
Rides smooth and under the hood is good

Just gotta replace brake pads and get new tires soon

Other then that Ima tent the windows
Do a little interior work
And a glossy paint job and keep it og
