89RedDarkGrey

Nice price. Every "used" Reatta is going to need certain parts/upgrades shy of +30 years old, and the "Headlight Kit" is surely one!

"One man's trash- is another man's treasure". Just about anything can be salvaged nowdays. Muggyweld makes incredible repairs. Check out their YT videos. Amazing stuff.

Ok- could someone definitely say, how much of this pertains to '88-'89 headlight switches? Details of differences, please? Also- whenever I've had to disassemble something that was spring-loaded, and/or had small parts- I always found it helpful to either take it apart inside a plastic shopping bag, or wrap a towel around it to contain the granade

Yes, same where I live, exactly.

Well? What'd you get?

STUNNING. VERY BEAUTIFUL CAR. VERY NICE WORK.

Misleading clickbait. No SC here.

If you read it right- is the "tomorrow" supposed to represent what your Buick will become- a bunch of parts on the floor? Maybe someone else saw this flub, and that's why it was in the dumpster?

Different Timing Cover, bore your own CMP hole, or just use an electric water pump, and remove the OEM. Remote electric oil pump & filter. Delete AC compressor. Get a plain PS pump like a Honda, with remote reservoir. With DIY brackets, bushings & bolts- you've got many possibilities.

2seater needs a "line drawing with dimensions" and that's what I found. If it's useless to him- he can say, then I'll delete it. I'm sorry I couldn't find a diagram labeled "Paxton Supercharger to Buick Reatta installation".

Good photos here Good photos here, too!

It's virtually PnP. (if you have the harness I'm referring to) Personally- I am not attaching directly to the battery, via some ugly connector. The correct junction boxes are easily accessible.

Like the "Pinstripe delete" option- was it also an option for colored moldings? Bumper rub strips? Mirrors?

What is the intake plenum on an '89 LN3 composed of? Cast aluminum? I ask this because years ago- the front of the engine developed a coolant leak. It turned out to be the flattened & hard O-ring of the metal pipe, that goes into the timing cover. After replacing both O-rings, the other being on the metal tube to plenum, with a paper thin white metal tab and 1 bolt to hold it in- and seeing what a flimsy design the prone-to-rotting tubing is, I want to tap threads in the timing cover when it's off soon (for new parts) and plenum for barbed brass nozzles, and use hoses to the heater core. There is already one in the plenum now- why couldn't they simply use 2 more? It's easy to stuff an oily rag in the plenum hole when drilling & tapping. When finished- slowly pull out the rag. Does this sound doable?

I really like your choice of end receptacle over the ones in THIS kit, however- the kit eliminates searching for wiring, terminals, heat shrink, split convoluted loom, etc. Your 45* plugs will fit way easier, without a worry of interference or shorts. I think a mixture of the two kits is nice. There's plenty of room for the two relays. I've read the included relays can be troublesome- so have extras on hand.

The "actual" color is Teal, a bluish green.

I have already done nearly the same as DAVES89 has, I connected individual led (series) to the 12VDC of the console inverter. The slider works to dim the led. I also plan to install an orange led to the shifter, as to indicate the gear. All of this is under, and shaded by- the PRNDDL2L1 plastic sheet. I am also changing the blue led to green to match the other scheme.

Is this suitable, to simply mimic what's already there? Inverters, too. My '89 shift indicator is getting a relamp with something similar soon. My switches work fine- although not as bright as I'd prefer, so I'll probably be doing them too. I had them all apart to clean, and the EL looks simple. http://www.kr4.us/el-tape-bluegreen-1m.html?source=cashback

Upgrade to THIS

That happens a LOT. A LOT. They either give up, ruin something, have it repaired- or find out the repairs "exceed the worth of the vehicle" and get rid of it. Kind of disappointing, actually.

Worth some bucks, but I'd keep it- "just in case". Those parts (if working) are getting kinda scarce... I can personally vouch for this Man. Best $ I ever spent.
