AT FIRST I WAS JUST SANDING BY HAND WITH A SQUARE THING WITH SOME SND. PAPER ON IT. SO I JUST WENT TO WALMART AND BOUGHT THIS PALMSANDER. EVEN THOUGH IT'S FOR WOOD BUT IT WORKED PRETTYGOOD.

YOU MIGHT THINK THATS STILL THE PAINT ON THE PICS BUT ACTUALLY I WASHED IT AND THE HOOD, ROOF & TRUNK R' WET. EVERY1 HAS ALWAYS TOLD ME THAT FOR A NEW PAINT TO GRABB ON, THE OLD PAINT DOESNT NEED TO BE COMPLETELY STRIPPED (sanded). YOU CAN JUST GRIND OFF THE SHINE OFF THE PAINT BUT DOESNT NEED TO BE BARE METAL. YOU CAN DO IT THAT WAY IF U WANT TO. BUT I JUST SANDED IT DOWN.

Looks good! I like the actual front end. If you really want to change it, how about one from a 1979 Century with the sport coupe package (like the ones on your page 7). I think it looks great! Here's a wagon with the sport package and the same front end: http://www.imcdb.org/vehicle_7530-Buick-Century-Wagon-1978.html

Hey looks good. Congrats on the engine swap! It's not that hard really.
I like your textured headliner, that adds a nice custom look. Thanks for sharing your project!
I've got old cars that I put a lot of work in. My cars are as reliable as a new one but don't have a payment each month. There is something to be said about keeping a family car, my Nova has been in family since new in 72. You can't look at a car as a model and a year. You have to look at what has been put into it to make it unique.
My opinion is the 87 Regal GNX with its high-tech ceramic turbo, sequential fuel injection, and DIS ignition (way back in 1987!) is my favorite Buick. It was really the last "real" muscle car. Pure brute force under the hood, but still a livable interior. And that styling! It was boxy back when boxy was cool!
