    i should be getting the engine back on Monday, i have begun detailing the engine compartment, I'm using por15 on the inner fenders and core support, as well as decreasing where the engine or shall i say grease bucket once sat.

    So its been about 5 years since i last posted on this site, i left for college in june of 2006, and my car didnt work well in LA city traffic, so i ended up leaving it at my parents home for the last 4 years, until they moved and i brought it back to my house (with a garage finally) last month.
    The last years by the sea, the Buick has not faired well. Rust started to form on the common areas; rear window, lower quarter panels, core support. I was thinking about selling it, but cant let her go. So i decided to help me stay working on it I will document the comeback of The Green Dinosaur.
    Stay tuned.

    I am glad you decided to keep it after all that work. Life happens, but if you sell it you will regret it.
