Well, almost done at least. I haven't been posting for a while due to the fact that I still haven't gotten the car through the DMV's inspections and also due to the fact that I still have a lot of problems with the engine. Still, I've finsihed refurbishing the engine and the engine room so I think a "before" and "after" shot is in order (click on the images for a larger view). Before: <a href="http://picasaweb.google.com/martin.edelius/BuickGS1972/photo#4960415791349825554"><img src="http://lh5.google.com/image/martin.edelius/RNbv4X2lABI/AAAAAAAAAGU/UkhBBg-4Ddc/s400/PICT0078.JPG" /></a> After: <a href="http://picasaweb.google.com/martin.edelius/BuickGS1972/photo#5071761765027407778"><img src="http://lh4.google.com/image/martin.edelius/RmKEdDXd56I/AAAAAAAAA_U/M7hawH1bkws/s400/IMG_0976.JPG" /></a> I wish I'd washed off the dust before I took the "after" picture and the before shot isn't the best one but I hope they convey the amount of work I've put into this. And I have to say that it turned out very nice considering that this is the first time I refurbished an engine and an engine room. Here are some more shots: <a href="http://picasaweb.google.com/martin.edelius/BuickGS1972/photo#5071764054244976562"><img src="http://lh5.google.com/image/martin.edelius/RmKGiTXd57I/AAAAAAAAA_g/jboLFtBAHHo/s400/IMG_0977.JPG" /></a> <a href="http://picasaweb.google.com/martin.edelius/BuickGS1972/photo#5071764114374518722"><img src="http://lh3.google.com/image/martin.edelius/RmKGlzXd58I/AAAAAAAAA_o/FhI5w8b9QVA/s400/IMG_0978.JPG" /></a> <a href="http://picasaweb.google.com/martin.edelius/BuickGS1972/photo#5071764174504060882"><img src="http://lh5.google.com/image/martin.edelius/RmKGpTXd59I/AAAAAAAAA_w/xCnAhIbpt34/s400/IMG_0979.JPG" /></a> <a href="http://picasaweb.google.com/martin.edelius/BuickGS1972/photo#5071764677015234530"><img src="http://lh6.google.com/image/martin.edelius/RmKHGjXd5-I/AAAAAAAAA_4/uTcctfJqIGE/s400/IMG_0963.JPG" /></a> <a href="http://picasaweb.google.com/martin.edelius/BuickGS1972/photo#5071764750029678578"><img src="http://lh3.google.com/image/martin.edelius/RmKHKzXd5_I/AAAAAAAABAA/3ZRVkbKm608/s400/IMG_0964.JPG" /></a> <a href="http://picasaweb.google.com/martin.edelius/BuickGS1972/photo#5071764814454188034"><img src="http://lh6.google.com/image/martin.edelius/RmKHOjXd6AI/AAAAAAAABAI/jZwXU-E41YA/s400/IMG_0965.JPG" /></a> This is a re-painted unit. Thanks to SMartin for the ideas on how to do it (and although it turned out a bit different from his I'm still proud of how good it looks). <a href="http://picasaweb.google.com/martin.edelius/BuickGS1972/photo#5071764934713272338"><img src="http://lh6.google.com/image/martin.edelius/RmKHVjXd6BI/AAAAAAAABAQ/sIlZHI1E6us/s400/IMG_0966.JPG" /></a> As for the problems I still have - check out the street/strip 455 section for those posts. :TU:
