INTRO
this is our T-TYPE
.I bought my wife her Mitsubishi Montero Sport, so now i drive the buick. ive started the interior restoration with fixing the electrical stuff that doesnt work, listed here-

-power mirror switch (repaired as of 31 jul 04)

-passenger seat recline switch

-rear dr side window(motor ok, switch bad)

-dr side window guides need to be replaced(you can find some good stuff in the Motormite catalog)

On the left are the original manuals that came with the car, including the manual for the radio( which by the way is the BOSE head unit. It's outdated, but still sounds really good).!!!UPDATE!!! my radio has quit working. I must do some exploratory surgery to find out why. bobenhotep's 1986 Buick Electrabobenhotep's 1986 Buick Electra
I got this car by chance because another guy did not want it (too old, too many things wrong with it, etc). so my wife got it and i had to do some work on it, and a starter and some lucas power steering fluid to get rid of "morning sickness" (check out LUCAS OIL) later i was driving.There are still a lot of little nit-picky things to do, like fix the headliner, and replace the shifter knob (which I have finally done), but this is a 18 year old car with over 170,000 miles!

This is a good combination of old and new tech, you have multi port fuel injection,DIS, and overdrive, but no annoying modern stuff like motorized seatbelts or airbags to kill your kids.I also like having glass headlights, they dont turn yellow with age! I will try to post more pics later, maybe a before and after thing, because this is my new tinker toy after i move. bobenhotep's 1986 Buick Electrabobenhotep's 1986 Buick Electra
The blur under the car is my SweetPea dog. here is a really good shot of the hood. i had to unplug the hood light because the glare blinds the camera.
