Hi all I am a big fan of GM vehicles especially the older models. i currently own A beautiful Black on Tan 1978 Buick sport coupe T-type all original with factory power bucket seats and T Tops w/183,000 original miles No A/C. I'm restoring it to an extent, i plan to keep it as original as possible However the only upgrades that will be done, 87 grand national engine, full upgraded suspension and Big break kit all the way around(Pro Touring style) body and interior are staying factory. Contemplating on mini tubbing it to fit 19"x11" in the rear and 18"x8" in the front. This is actually my second Regal i owned a 1979 Buick Regal Limited two tone Black with metallic gray top and Grand National interior I swapped in a healthy 305 H.O TPI from an 87 Firebird Formula doner car with the 5speed she sounded and ran beautifully easy swap to do, unfortunately I had to get rid of it do to losing my job, that was about 10 yrs ago, I loved that car and search for one ever since until this year i got lucky and found my new baby on Craigslist for cheap. i payed $2300, I'm very happy my fiance thinks i a bit nuts but at the same time understands my passion for old cars. 😀
 
Welcome! sounds like a great project!
