Is it just a piece of junk?

Soooo many mechanical problems with this car. The thermometer on cauges was not working, so didnt knew that engine was overheating. Lucky we fixed it, so I saw that in time.
waterpump is leaking, that needs to be fixed first. Then the ABS system needs some TLC, it is busted too.

But for funside, here is some videos:

Fixing mechanical issues

Its time to fix those mechanical issues on this car. First all four corners is getting new brakes and bearings.

Also power steering is busted, its leaking and need to be fixed. Bigger problem is rear; bushings are totaly busted and needs to be changed. It is a much intens job and going to cost more money then i was prepared. But it has to be fixed, this car is driving like a shit now.

There is also horrible noise when speeding hard, that might be turbine or it is just coming from joints becourse rear is so loose. Also rear is leaking oil; need to be fixed too.

Then i have a funny job, blower motor is busted and needs to be replaced. I have done it once before to Caprice so I know how fun that is to change it under dash.

Water temperature meter isnt working, needs to be re wired.

When these are done first, then we will figure out what else there is...

We are very fortunate to have good local American car shop, Pasi Mahlamäki http://www.autokorjaamomahlamaki.fi/. He is good and reasonable priced. I know he can fix everything.

So much have been replaced

Here is some list of parts I replaced and also some info where to get them:

New deck cover. Old was realy busted, but with this it deck looks much better.
Got it from http://www.carid.com/1991-chevy-caprice-wood-grain-dash-kits/coverking-dash-covers-136432.html

There was no button to open trunk lid. Originaly car had open button left of streering wheel. I found this on www.rockauto.com and it even works!

All door trims were replaced. Now every window works! These are from www.ebay.com . Also got remote door opener, thats from ebay too.

This mirror records awesome HD video. It works by it self, starts when car is started. It was around 200,- euros on ebay, origin from China.

My favourite; the new console. Siren is from http://www.autodirectsave.com/  Its not quite as good as professional Whelen, or others would be. But it was cheap, looks good and sounds ok. 

Center console was also from ebay; http://www.ebay.com/itm/350530722655?item=350530722655&viewitem=&vxp=mtr
