This baby was passed down from my mother to me and i plan on restoring this car as much or if possible completely. I plan on changing everything but first things first. I will be taking lots of pictures of all the areas i want to change. I know it is going to take time but i will get it done asap. First thing is a rebuilt engine and i am talking 350. big block. I know it still needs smog so i will be limited on this. Why a delta 88? Nobody works on this cars or even bothers to fix them up so I want to be one of the first who javascript:ShowImage('/member_pages/show_image.pl?image=http://memimage.cardomain.net/member_images/11/web/2975000-2975999/2975155_3_full.jpg')

And all this is through my own sweat unless if some person decides to help me financially. lol Next will be a transmission, and i want a 700r4 transmission. I don't know if it will fit but i will find some way to make it fit. Body is in pretty good condition with a few minor scratches here and there. Interior i am planning on a offwhite with a combintaion baby blue mix. My head liner i want it to be my countries flag(fiji) I don't know what the law states on this but if it is possible and legal, i will get that for my headliner. I want a nice custom two tone color on this car and I was thinking a candy apple green fade into a baby blue. My vinyl top will be offwhite or baby blue to match. For sound i want 4 6x9 in the back and (forgot the size of them round speakers) i want one on each door. I have taken off the rubber pieces that go around the door because i don't like the way it looks on the car. Everything under the car i intend on replacing or fixing so the bottom has no rust or what. I don't really intend on chroming the engine out but i intend to have a nice rebuilt one put in. Any help or ideas would be considered. I am brand new to the whole car restoration world and appreciate your help or ideas in making this a ONE OF A KIND 1984 OLDSMOBILE DELTA 88. I will try to keep updating this and add pictures as i change things around on my car. Oh i almost forgot, Anyone out there know how to get the most horsepower out of this car? I am looking at 400-600hp. I know it sounds crazy but if i could get 400hp on this car I would be in heaven. Also would it be a good idea to take off the catalytic converter? I have a flow master installed and want some beastly growl. Wheels i am looking at 18" torque thrust American racing wheels wrapped in michelin or Goodyear tires. I want a custom made grill that covers even the lights and that is just one piece all through the front of the car. Lights will be replaced too and i am going to get some really bright lights. I might add airbags to lower the car a lil bit but am not too sure on that. I don't want to go on dubs but get something reasonable and not too fancy. I am looking at $8000-$15000 to invest in this car. The cheaper the better if i can get good deals anywhere.
