Fixing up my late mother-in-law's 1986 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme Brougham
A little while ago, I took possession of the car, when I got it running and parked it in the driveway.
After getting the oil and filters changed, l had the wife complete the process of legally taking over the car. A few trips to DMV and two to the notary and the car is now ours. Amazingly, the only thing that required fixing to pass the state safety inspection was a pair of windshield wipers. I also got a new set of tires, since the old ones sat in the dirt for 6 years and developed dry rot.
I have been driving the car to work all week, which is the goal. I want to keep from putting mileage on the Jeep and limit it to only hauling the travel camper. So far, everything is good.
I bought some Armor All wipes on a run to the AutoZone and spent a few minutes cleaning the dash during my lunch break. My wife had already vacuumed the inside, so there was less dirt than when we took over the car.

There is plenty of cleaning to be done and I need to get a tune-up and some wires replaced. But, at least there will be a little less dirt in front of me.

I definitely need to get my car cleaned up. Making good progress from the first time I saw you write about this car.
Added the link to the first post. Thanks.
Hopefully I'll make more posts about this as I move along. It won't be a quick project.
wana sell it?
Not for sell. My wife loves the car and I don't want to see it sit there and rot.
