This is my 84 Buick Regal "Bruickuette" That I finally thought a nickname for, since she is a charcoal colored brick, and likes to run hot or did anyway. I bought it January of 07 with 95,000 miles on it. It currently is at my sisters house, while her boyfriend and I do body work to it. I found this car sitting on the street with a forsale sign on it and didnt pay much attention to it at first. At that point in time I wasnt to interested in g-body cars, but as time went i slowly started liking them. Suddenly I wanted one, and this one was a good canidate.
Update:
Cars Finally painted! Still needs to be buffed though
Heres a couple of concepts of what I want her to look like. Lowered a little bit, white letter tires and tinted windows. Or lowered, trim removed and American Racing torq thrust Ms added. Tell me what you think and take the poll!
Yay! I made a G-body Calendar!
Plans: The most likley course of how things will go is I will save up my money for a 350 chevy and drive the 3.8 until it dies. As far as the swap is concerned, just a mild 350 will do fine, putting out somewhere around 210-250 hp to start. A 200-4r transmission is what id really like, but for now and simple ease of a swap, Ill probably go with th350. The rearend would need to be built up some and swap out the open 2:41's with a posi 3:42. I want to make this car streetable, but still giving decent gas mileage, especially these days.
I havent worried about lowering or suspension or brakes other than normal maintenance, because whats the point of making a car handle better if it doesnt have the power to put those handling skills to use? But i would like to lower the car an inch to inch and half, and stiffen it up a little. Also adding 4-wheel disc brakes. But these are furthur down the road.
