    Towed my buick out to work today, going to get cracking on it. funny thing is, I was motivated by a video game. playing need for speed games, made me want to get my car finished hardcore! WOOHOOO! posted a pic of my truck with the buick on the trailer in the bench. i'll post updates on the car! hopefully be doing a burnout in a few weeks to get rid of the old tires.

    Me too! I have had an '83 Regal for a while. Put it in the driveway, just unhooked all the top and front of the 3.8, getting ready to go back out an unhook the trans & exhaust. I already picked up gaskets, lifters, timing set and some gaskets, all I need is to order a cam. I have a Buick 350 out of about a '79 LeSabre that ran good. I am leaning towards the 110 cam from Poston. Add some flowmasters and maybe a shift kit. I already scored a set of 3.42's for the rear end from an S-10(open diff, but, gotta' start somewhere).

    I came inside to get a drink and get the camera for some pics, my sweetie took it to her family for Turkey day. But, I'll press on and get some pics up!

    Good for you :TU: I need to get motivated some. Need to get the GN apart and off to the body shop for some fresh paint.

    winter can suck, but it helps to get the bugs out of our cars (here in the north) having extra time and all.

    i don't know why but i neglect to work on my own projects in the summer, i think it has something to do with the beach, and bikinis... heh, i become a beach bum in the summer.

    I got my regal out at my job (toyota dealership) where i can bring it inside and work on it in the warm, comfort of a modern garage, as opposed to the cracked driveway and stuffed with furnature garage i have here. there's also plenty of people to help, i'm gonna park it next to our shop race car (a monte, with a bbc in it) and see if the monte gets jelouse. heh.
