Newly acquired 83 Buick Regal Wagon...

Well I got to finish up the gauge install today. Ran the car and did a check through of everything and everything is working good with no leaks! Happy!

I had the car outside but it got dark on me quick so I didnt get any new outside pics yet! Soon though!

thanks

Glad to see that it's coming along, Chris.

How does the clearance between the tires and frame look?

I'm interested in the spacers. I used a set of them on an S10 Blazer a while back to make the rear wheels line up with the front ones. My neighbor wants to give me a set of black GTA 'lace' rims, and I think these would make them work on the wagon. How much? PM sent.

Its good "enough". Its safe to say you cant fit much more tire in there.... lol

Operation Mirror was successful! I took the mirror apart today at work and soaked the working part of it in a PB Blaster type of stuff I have at work. I let it soak in it for about 4-5 hours and then I got it moving and now it moves like butter! Glad it worked out! Here are some pics!

Hey there everyone! It was FINALLY nice enough outside today to get the car out and take some pictures and finish up a few things to get it ready to drive.

Pics...

Also working on cleaning up the taillight lenses and installing all new bulbs.

Finally got the gauges wired up for lighting and tidy'd up the sending units, etc

In other news I traded off my 09 Pontiac G8 GT for a 07 Avalanche LTZ. Thought you guys might enjoy some pics.

Also a couple other cool pics of stuff that I do at work...

Enjoy!

Glad you got it out at least to look it over. Helps keep you motivated!

I did leave out the part about going on a cruise and finding out I gotta replace the valve stems in the front wheels. LoL

Thanks alot man! Progress is going decently. I still need to do a tuneup and replace header gasket on the passanger side. Also replace the front two valve stems that I found were leaking! Always more to do! LOL

We love the Avalanche. I did have to put intake gaskets on it and replace a few things but it is up to par now.
