O'Reilly racing seats
Back seat removed, replaced with carpet padding and carpeting, new seat belts
6000K 55W HIDs with modified projector housings

Transmission is acting like complete crap, so its getting a 5 speed Getrag 282 with a Spec Stage 3 clutch some time next month or as soon as I can get one. Also, I'll be getting the walbro 255lph fuel pump in there this week since I'm 8-10 psi too low on the fuel rail. The following video was taken more for the sound than the speed. I'll take another once I get the higher flow fuel pump in.

Not a bad looking car. Needs a little work but nothing major. Clean up the engine a little bit and it will look great. Make sure you take lots of pictures of the transmission swap.

I'll definitely be documenting the 5 speed swap very well, and I'm in the market for a non rusted fuel rail. That should make the engine bay look a LOT better.

For ones that you could fit in a w-body regal, they were available on the 1989-1990 Cutlass Supreme and Grand Prix, and only on a select few of those. There are two of these cars for sale in the midwest. The transmissions themselves are in available a lot of other cars, but those would also have different bellhousings and mounting types. For example, you could get one from a j-body, but its impossible to mount it to the w-body subframe.
