Just picked up a loaded 95 SSEi! Full Resto!

Post by Baconboy95 »

Picked this girl up for $100.... Mostly unknown condition, but fairly clean body-wise. Filthy interior, but that will be remedied tonight...
This is my first project car, low miles, and it's only sat for 5 years...lol I'm pretty darn excited for it. Help, info, and suggestions all are welcome!

Alright boys. After a week of cleaning and work, the old girl fired right up. (After fixing both ground buss bars with a wire nut and slapping on a coil pack) I have both lights on for my CCR. I AM looking to retain full functionality of this system. Do they or do they not make ccr suspension components now? I saw something about acdelco p/n#503364?

That's a great buy for $100 even if you end having to go through it a bit.

$100, that's less than half the scrap value! Great job! :beerchug:

hi, if she is an SSEi, cold air intake wont do much except looks of the bay.

I like your selection of amps - I still have a RF punch 45 from the mid 90s - awesome amp - a 100 watt amp with 1000watt internals - nice!!

I do not believe they make anything to restore the functionality of the CCR system, sadly.

Dang. I was really hoping to retain ccr. I do plan to use the factory buttons to control the air ride at some point. And as far as audio goes, I'm planning a full re audio xxx system on Rockford power.

My '93 certainly woke up after intake upgrade. This car is going to look sweet when it's done. How did the interior turn out?
