The car is looking great! But you NEED to get those lights on… Hahaha!

Very jelly of that garage. Nice ingenuity pulling the seat back.. Who needs fold down seats?

I know! It's terrible, just sitting in the box in my attic begging to be installed. I'm sure once I get them on it will be amazing and I will kick myself for waiting so long. So many projects, so little time. I have a new factory radio system and an intake system waiting to be put on the truck too along with a temp display rear view mirror. And a ZZP trans pan waiting to go on the car too lol.
The garage is amazing and it was a huge selling point on this house. I am in the process of redoing the electrical currently and hope to have it insulated in time for next winter. You NEED fold down seats hahaha, this was a giant pain in my ass to do but it got the job done. I got sick of tearing it out so I just drove around with no back seat for most of the summer.

You've had a lot going in the last year and a half, Nick! The Bonneville is looking good! I still remember basking in your amazing, cold A/C during the 2015 meet. it was like paradise in that muggy heat! It's so nice having a garage, isn't it? Mine's just not attached to a house, and it's already filled with two project cars - no room for a Bonneville.

And you will get addicted to using that polisher once you get some quality time with it.

Thanks Greg. Yes the A/C in this thing is pretty legit. I know I was one of the few at the meet with working AC and I was going to take full advantage, I needed a break from that muggy nonsense for awhile.

Having a garage is amazing, this one isn't attached to the house but its a short 20 foot walk away. Mine is pretty tight as well once I put the Bonneville, the truck, and my girlfriends Regal inside. Luckily I have a large driveway and it's not a big deal to back them all out. Yea I can't wait to see the results of a proper polish/wax job on the car.

Well, I did get the A/C working in my Bonneville again, but it was around the end of summer (but stayed warm enough through fall for me to use it). The one thing Tim and I wish we could do is insulate the garage we use, but since we don't own it, I'm not spending money insulating someone else's garage.

Also, I just found out recently that one of my rear LED bulbs sort of went out on me again. It half works. Bright mode works (when the brakes are on), but the dimmer mode is out. I'm going to have to mess with it this weekend.

I caught one of mine not lighting up the other day too but every time since it's been working. If these go out too I'm going to have to try them from somewhere else. I already went thru the one set that was on sale and had to buy the more expensive ones. They went out fast. I only had the third brake light for a short period of time! Ended up buying some regular bulbs to get me by before the new ones arrived.

I keep a set of regular bulbs in my trunk just in case. Yeah, if these go out, I'll have to look someplace else as well. The backup, turn signal, and interior bulbs have all been great. I just don't know what it is with those taillights.

I had some big LED's from SuperBrightLEDS.com in the taillights of my LeSabre, but in bright sunlight, you couldn't see them at all, even with the brakes applied. Those were the most expensive, highest count bulbs I could get in that socket size. Then again, that was around 9 years ago, LED tech wasn't the same as it is now.

You've also reminded me that I need to get to my suspension soon. 180K, and the only newer parts are the inner tie rods (I really need struts).
