TurboV6 Posted March 4, 2005 Share Posted March 4, 2005 This car over the last 3 years has under gone an extensive restoration on a rust free body. Vehicle was disassembled, sanded to bare metal and repainted. The upholstery was completely removed, carpet and upholstery replaced and additional sound proofing added. All NOS seals were used on the doors. Front end suspension was entirely replaced with new components. Transmission was rebuilt. A new 1987 crate motor was purchased, it was also disassembled, and taken to the machine shop to replace all "old" bearings, polish the crank and balance the engine. The engine was put back togeather in "stock" fashion, with the following exceptions. 3 inch down pipe, with the cat removed and a cut out pipe added. The turbo was upgraded and an adjustable waste gate added. 30# injectors, with adjustable fuel system and fuel gauge, Armstong fuel pump and hot wire kit. These modifications were not done to race the car, rather to remove some of the problem areas built into the car from the factory. Vehicle has not been raced.Currently the car has 115K on the speedometer, and 2800 miles since this complete restoration.The car was featured on the rear cover of the Buick Bugle last Nov. And as it shows in the pictures, the car is not all black. I had the lower half repainted in a custom silver, with a hand painted red trim stripe seperating the two colors. The car also has a set of GNX styled 15 in wheels. The correct aluminum alloys will go with the car. $12,500mlob@hotmail.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
