Thanks for opportunity to meet other g-body owners.
I have just acquired a 87 Buick GN WE4 t-top car. car has sat for 10 yrs. runs but not that well with old gas.
I've been into hotrods since I was like 8 yrs old. I rode in 87' gn when the 87's came out and fell in love every since. The car. Has surface rust on the entire frame and very little surface rust on the bottom of the body tub.
as of yesterday, i pulled the body from the frame to start blasting the frame and scuffing the tub.
There are 4 body mount holes in the frame that has to be cut out and and metal replaced.
In the process of removing fuel and brake lines to replace. I will try to post some pics as I go.

\Welcome to the site.

Just a side note. It is either a Grand National(WE2) or a WE4 TurboT, can't be both. Or I guess it could be a Turbo Regal as a third option as you didn't post any pix.

So we are gonna need pix.

Just a quick question, As I am cleaning all the grime off this A-arm, I see that there is a pinkish -red paint on the corner of it. Does anyone know if it was factory and why?
