I had an '82 for about three years. Detailed the crap out of it, down to the correct type screws. Fixed everything, including the computer that controls the carb and transmission lock-up. De-smogged it. New seat upholstery. Eliminated the fusible links (inaccessible on the road under the car) and replaced them with an underhood fuse panel. Upgraded the headlamps with relays and Hella ECE halogen lamps. Rebuilt the AC to take 134a. New headers and dual exhaust. Did many date nights with it, and many midweek country drives. Bought it for $16k, sold it for $23k.

Headers and exhaust was by far the most expensive, sine I hired the guy. Maybe $1500. New AC compressor and parts amazingly cheap from Rock Auto. A rebuilt computer from AutoZone was $85. I may have had $300 in electrical components. New distributor and spare module (very important to have a GM module in those). Upholstery $500. New T-top seals $150. Another $100 or so on sound deadening material under the driveway-Simple Green and hose- cleaned original carpet. I never bothered to track it all but I may have spent $4000.
