Hello all,

I am Pete, My wife and I just recently purchased a 1984 Toronado Brougham.
307CI V8 TH325-4L Overdrive transmission

Here a few pics of said automobile....










Yes, that is an OE CB radio.

I have a few questions, but I will post those in the appropriate forum....

 

I want to replace the OE (cruddy) speakers and stereo in this thing, but I can't seem to figure out how to remove the rear deck speakers.

There is no access from the trunk, so I need to figure it out. The buzzing is driving me nuts!!

Also, Is there a way to adjust the window glass in the doors? WIth the window up on the drivers side, you have to slam the door to get it to latch. It's not sagging, but it's tough to close....

 

Nice car...To get the rear speakers out you have to remove-from the trunk side-those covers that surround the speakers and continue from there, I have an '84 Regency and that is the route I took..as for the glass-take the door panel off and then you have to adjust the for and aft horizontal sliders up or down to get the glass to rotate forward or rearward as required...easy...after you have played with it for a weekend..

 

Welcome aboard Pete

As you can allready tell this is the place for you Q&A

 

Nice car! Looks like all it really needs is a vacuuming and you will be ready to go for the summer show and shines.

 

Nice car, welcome to our site.

 

10-4 good buddy see you have the CB option see you on the side Nice car

 

Don't see them like that too often anymore. Welcome

 

Welcome to the site, your car looks to be in very good shape.

 

Thanks guys!

She does look good. I need some of the urethane trim pieces for between the body and bumpers, but other than that, it's a clean car.

As for the vacuuming, unless I vacuum it daily, it's gonna look like that. We live in Ocean Park Wa and are surrounded by trees.

She's getting a new upper rad hose and t-stat tommorow. The hose is a may pop, and the t-stat is stuck open....(brrrr)

She was owned by a Dr. who died a few months ago. Kinda strange holding a title signed by a dead person. She signed the car over to the Pacific County Community Emergency Response Team as a donation for them to sell and buy new equipment with the funds from the car.

For $500 bucks, she runs, drives and moves on down the road.

 

Another Washingtonian, great maybe we can start gaining on those other coast guys
