NEW PAGE 11 UPDATED!!! September 30, 2008
I have made a couple of new aquasitions in the past year. Firstly, I purchased a 1987 LeSabre T-Type as a donor vehicle. This car runs but is in to much disrepair to put on the road. Has a great deal of parts I am looking for to complete my overhaul and mods on my LeSabre. Secondly, I have just purchased a 1997 Cadillac DeVille, and I am planning to pull the Northstar 4.6L V8 and install it in my LeSabre. The Northstar has 275 HP and 300 LbFt Torque at 5600 RPM, a hugh increase form the current 150 HP in my stock 3.8L V6.
A Very Special SHOUT OUT!!! To all the members of the LeSabre T-Type website. Check it out here:

My Ride is a 1986 Buick LeSabre Limited Coupe. The car is fully loaded, with power everything, digital dash and temp control, Grand National steering wheel. A friend of mine specially ordered the car new. I purchased the car 15 years ago, and I have been puting my mark on it ever since.
Several years ago, I pulled the car out from a long sleep, and spent several weeks and about $7000 later, I was on the road again.
I completely replace all brake compenents with upgrades, including all new lines. I completly replace all suspension components with upgrades. I had the car repainted, added new polished 15" wheels and BFG tires, up from the original 14's. I gave the engine a complete overhaul, and rebuilt the tranny. Added a complete DynoMax cat back exhaust with dual stainless tips.
I found a T-Type spoiler on ebay in Texas and got it for about $150 delivered.
I added a Clarion PRO Audio Head unit PPI 5 channel amp and Boston Acoustic speakers. $600 of wiring and I had awesome sound.
I was cursin' again for a few months anyways, I don't drive it in the winter.

I'm very impressed with what you have done! Moving the fuel door is a great idea, it turned out better than I thought it would. I think you should put the T-Type front spoiler on, after all, you do have the rear spoiler on. I see you're going to put the V-8 into it, good choice. I didn't see what color you are going to paint your ride? Keep up with the pics. Excellent job!
