New to the forum, been lurking around but just registered.

Here is my 81 limited, v6, 81k, second owner car now.

Bought from an old lady that worked for a Buick dealership.

Owned it for a little over a year and have used it as a daily ever since while I build my 66 impala.

Car has been great, slow for my taste but a clean comfortable cruiser no doubt about it.

I have plans for it in the future but haven't decided on what route yet.

Here Suzzy is, comments welcome.
Excuse the iPhone pics, they aren't the best.

When I picked it up it had seat covers on, interior is perfect! The lady actually got her husband up saying "richard come look , I havent seen these seats in 25 years"....SCORE

the wires and white walls is a good look
 
Man, that thing is identical to the '81 Regal Limited I got from my grandma when I was 16...
...except mine had the wire hubcaps, not the sweet ralley's.
 
Car looks like it's in outstanding condition. Nice find. Welcome to the site
 
Again thanks guys, i really enjoy my G-body.

However the v6 is way to slow to me. What is the best bet for more power.
Can some1 tell me the expenses involved and pro's and cons in turbo-ing the existing engine?

If that's not power or cost effective I having being wanting to do an LSX swap and it seems to be a good candidate for the swap.

Also is there any GM rear ends that bolt right in to tough up the rear end.

Over all, I want a pro touring car with the sleeper regal ltd look (rallies back on).

Is the GN suspension any sort of upgrade, what is the best suspension upgrade for the car budget speaking.

I am doing my own research just wanting some g-body veteran input since I know you guys have been there done that!

Budget $4k ~ back yard build style!
