IMPALA!!!!!!!!!!

Its a salvaged title 95 Impala SS 139,XXXmiles. interior and exterior needs a little work. Only thing it has performance wise are dumped flowmaster super 40's.

Problems are:
-Pulls to the right
-Turn signals dont work
-Taillights are WTF Ugly
-Exhaust leak
-Oil Return line leak
-Tires are mixed matched
-Front door panels need to be replaced
-Carpet needs to be shampooed
-Need new headliner
-Leather seats I can live with
-Rims are a little chipped up
-Lowerd in the front, not the back
-Needs front end body work, (some things dont line up)
-Needs rear quarter panel work, (where the impala ss script is)
-Needs new paint, not faded but chipped
-Needs change of all the Fluids
-Needs new plugs and wires
thats about all that comes to mind so far, gotta get all those things done before i think performance

What I've done:
-Bought and installed new gas cap
-Bought and installed new headlights and parking lights
-Bought and installed 3rd brake lamp light
-Bought and installed only a few taillight bulbs
-Bought and installed under hood light
-Bought and installed 91 octane gasoline
-Washed entire car
-Did burnout before work (discovered for both tires to smoke, must have it in bottom gear.)


Got if for cheap enough i have about 3g's left to put into parts.

Tires in the front are 225/45/17, tires in the back are 235/40/17.
After i get the steering pull fixed, ill get some 245/40/17 BFG's all the way around.

i missed an auction on ebay for some SS taillights. so im waiting for the next one.

The chrome stays on the pillars. sorry.
