New to the forums here, hello!

21 y/o from ontario, canada.

Currently "restoring" a 1980 Buick Regal. (I put restoring in quotes because so far it's been a very slow and painful process, sometimes it doesn't feel like i'm making any progress at all)

Specs? : SB350, on paper it is around 410 BHP.
5 Speed Manual transmission that I pulled out of an old camaro
Posi Trac diff.
(and no heat)



Lookin' forward to being a part of the forums here.

If any of you know of any establishments that sell gbody parts in good condition please let me know, i'm having a very tough time finding the remainder of the trim (chromed trim) pieces on the exterior, like the fender trim and quarter panel trim. And trying to source a fully finished rear bumper, as the previous owner chopped this bumper and never got it re-chromed (I guess because it's so ****** expensive to chrome stuff)

Anywho, good to be here!

welcome from Bramalea. Ontario is a pretty big place and we have members all over it. Whereabouts are you from specifically ? Way too much greenery to be from the GTA in that picture ;)
Why no heat ? it really sucks leaving someplace at night in the late summer \ early fall and the windsheild gets full of condensation with no way to get it off.

That body style will be tough to find parts for esp in the rust belt of S Ont
