    My thought with doing the firewall first is it will keep the body square when the floor pan bracing is removed for the pan to be cut out

    My 1982 Buick Grand National Project basket case

    So in the past couple weeks I’ve been battling my chrons disease so been working on the car when I’ve felt ok. I got the frame completely stripped and cleaned and me and my wife painted it using the KBS frame coater kit followed by there satin black top coat that has uv protection. I also got a...

    This one is a 15 dollar from harbor freight I’m honestly surprised it lasted as long as it did I bought it a couple years back. I went back and got another today

    I’ve looked at them and actually did a couple quotes on sending it out to be blasted but it’s in such good shape it doesn’t need much cleanup the worst part is where someone sprayed black paint in the engine area and rear wheel area aside from that everything is pretty quick.

    Got a about 55-60% of the frame wire wheeled yesterday before I cooked my cheap grinder. Will pick up another one today probably and maybe continue working on it this evening. Also stripped the clear coat off the wheels but they have some corrosion that needs to be addressed. I’m going to see...

    Got all the corporate blue pieces painted finally, also gave the frame a real good pressure washing. And ordered this chassis coating kit from KBS from the research I’ve done it seems to be a pretty good product. I hope it is.

    Got the frame mounted up on the engine stands and got the correct wheels in today. Going to get some more dollies tomorrow to set the body on to roll it around. Would like to get the frame back inside to start working on the prep work for it.

    Just opened the boxes up so far I have received both new lower control arms, all new shocks, all new spring insulators, new bump stops, new tie rod ends, and a few other odds for the engine. I ordered all new control arms and I must say the lowers I just received look very nice!

    I think I’m going to do my seats like this set I saw on one of the interior threads, leather and suede I think it looks very nice and clean. Unfortunately my original upholstery is trash and I think it’s worth updating to better materials. I also was able to locate a original 82 GN radio and...

    New to me 1988 Cutlass Ciera xc

    So a update on the Ciera I went ahead and put a new fuel pump in the tank, also found the fusible link on the battery cable was junk I think this has been the source of majority of its problems since I got it. After repairing it it’s started everytime. It has a high idle problem I’ve got to...

    New to me 1988 Cutlass Ciera xc

    Got the Ciera up and running again it had a bad fuel pump relay. Hopefully that’s all it’ll be I really don’t want to do a fuel pump right now. I also swapped out oil pans on my Fiero so hopefully it’ll stop with the oil hemorrhage so far the pan is nice and dry. Pretty productive day of working...

    Pretty sure the supposedly new fuel pump the P/O is bad I can’t hear the pump run at all. I have a feeling they didn’t replace it or used a very cheap one.

    I’m beginning to think this car hates me I drove it around the neighborhood and backed it in the driveway and it decided it didn’t want to start back up. Has fuel and spark. Oh well a project for another day.

    Cleaned the car out and getting ready to start prepping it for the floor pan and firewall removal and replacement. Also organized all the parts I’ve accumulated with my shelving from work finally. The 4.1 looks to be healthy and not that old of a rebuild so it will get a new gasket kit and just...

    New to me 1988 Cutlass Ciera xc

    Had it sit in the rain the other night had very little leak in on the passenger side and drivers side. I’m going to try and go by the parts store tomorrow and get some new pins and bushings for the doors and work on tightening them up. Would love to get the seats back in it and out of my garage...

    Looking for the elusive disposable Th200 Non Lock-Up

    I had read somewhere that these transmissions were so bad when they were new cars and went back to the dealer for warranty/service work that the dealers would replace them with th350s

    My 1982 Buick Grand National Project basket case

    Pulled the intake off and it’s super clean inside had a little sludge at the bottom of the oil pan but it’s not bad at all. Pulled the #3 main cap to inspect the crank and bearings and the wear is very nice. Someone has been into it before just like I suspected it has had bearing replacement and...
