My 1982 Buick Grand National Project basket case
Finally feeling better enough to get back to work on this car (crohns disease sucks). Going to continue the tear down tomorrow want to blow all the trash off the intake so it doesn’t fall down in the motor. I can tell someone’s been into judging by the wrong hardware in places. The distributor...- NCTyphoonKid

New to me 1988 Cutlass Ciera xc
Got the door seal swapped out with the older cavalier seal much better fit. Going to get some door hinge pins and rebuild the hinges and do some adjustments on the doors in hopes of sealing better. I hate to put it all back together and have the carpet become a mess again- NCTyphoonKid

New to me 1988 Cutlass Ciera xc
So I went to the yard and grabbed two seals off two cavaliers one a 01 the other a 04 and apparently the 04 seals are different with how there made even though there identical cars so the passenger side fits kinda so so it’ll probably leak and I’ll have to source another seal didn’t notice the...- NCTyphoonKid

My 1982 Buick Grand National Project basket case
Wouldn’t hurt to see the old 3.8 engines are getting hard to find I actually have two in my garage just because. The real hard ones to find is the 4.1 252 V6 which is what 82 Grand Nationals came with aside from about 20-30 3.8 turbo v6 cars out of the 215 made- NCTyphoonKid

I hope it really turns put nice. I’ve never restored a car that’s as bad as this nor done heavy metal work/welding so it will be a experience for sure. This is my ultimate end goal for what I hope it looks like.- NCTyphoonKid
