So it's not an s-body, but thought I'd put a thread up anyway as I just think these cars are pimp and I thought some of you might have a bit of love for it haha
So was think of getting a new car as an occasional daily as I've got a van for work and my s14a has kind of gone past the point of being a road car anymore haha then up popped a Cedric GT ultima and it tickled my fancy (was thinking of importing a laurel, just as I fancied something different). So went off to look at it and it was CLEAN, just been imported and clearly been looked after, it's 20 years old and not a mark on it! Also it was completely standard which I liked even more, no pulling it apart to find bodge after bodge. So that was it I had to have it, so did the deal and agreed to go back later that week to collect. So I picked it up last Friday and this is how it looked the day I picked it up....
And I've got to say I'm absolutely LOVING it!!!! So comfy, pretty nippy too with the 3.0 v6 turbo lol and I'm even enjoying the auto box.
Not got any pics yet as it needs a clean inside and out after being used over Xmas but once it's had a clean tomorrow I'll throw some more up.
But got it up the lock up today to try identify some bits and work out what I can swap out with parts that are easier to get hold of and done a few little bits.
Fitted a subway handle as I've got a few knocking about
Also ditched the sidelights for a nicer look
Before
After
Also decided there was too much chrome on the front grill
So off it came and a quick sand and primer
Then few coats of Matt black
And back on
Think I'm also going to Matt black the badge too and refit it.
Few little bits I want to do next, remove the ugly rear fog and relocate to one of the reversing lights, change the bonnet lifters as they don't hold bonnet up any more, get the horrible old man wood hydro-dipped, new head unit and get some hids fitted and change the bulbs all round to get them all nice and bright.
Then plans are to get rid of hicas, lower it, upgrade brakes front and rear, fmic, boost controller, new wheels, air filter, exhaust and full body kit then I should be happy for a while lol
