New Buick

[Mr. 81]

Hello, Everybody!
After years of wanting a G of my own, I finally bought one a few days ago, a 1981 Buick Regal Limited N/A. This car has 306k on the odometer, but has been really well maintained including an engine rebuild less than 50k ago. The only real problem with the car, though, is that it has been sitting for almost two years, so now I'll be replacing all fluids, filters, hoses, belts, etc.
I plan to do plenty to the car over time, so I'll make sure to post everything i can.

NICE!! How about some pic's

 

[Mr. 81]

I'm ashamed to admit it, but i can't figure out how to add pics to a post from my computer using the img button, lol.

Easy - under the <save preview sumit> buttons when you post is an upload attachment tab - click on that, hit browse and find what you want to load from your computor - click on it and then hit add the file

 

[Mr. 81]

Haha, didn't even see that! Thanks a lot. In that case, here are some pics:




It's missing the bumper fillers, of course, and i need to fix the bumper brackets, but, other than that, the exterior is in pretty good shape and the interior is clean except for some wood trim pieces that are sticky for some reason.

You make me jealous not having a rust problem out there - nice car, mine came out of Seattle

 

[Mr. 81]

Yeah, I'm very lucky to have found this car here in Southern California, most are low riders, lol. I see just a small amount of orange spotting starting to appear on the edges of some panels. I don't want to deal with rust, so I'll probably take care of those pretty soon. BTW, I just did the spark plugs on a Buick v6 for the first time; the one near the a/c was a lot of fun! Seattle? The car looks a lot better than I'd expect it to! Must've been a lot of work.

Actually the outside of the car has been untouched with original paint and it was a bucket seat car.

 

[Mr. 81]

Car looks great, lilbowtie; I've been a fan of the brown two tone for a while. Buckets would be cool. I like the comfort of my bench seat, but i do slide around in the corners haha.
