This page is devoted to the exterior of the car. Please note that all of these pictures (except those designated with a "*") were taken the day I brought it home from being purchased and I hadn't had time to wash it.

Here are some new exterior pictures of the car propped up on the ramp(s) reading to have the exhaust painted. Yeah yeah, I know its dirty, geez... : P And yes, I did prop it up on BOTH front wheels when I was working on it, these were just for show:

I got some Optronic fog lights at Walmart the other day for $14 and put installed them the same day. They look cool but I am still tweaking the vertical angle that they are pointed at. Here are some pictures of the install and finished product:

I got my BUICK Motorsport decal from Ebay in and put it on the car with only a minor flaw or so. It looks awesome I think. Check it out:

I got bored today (of course) and so what did I do..paint stuff on my car. I debated painting the grill but in the end decided to and I am glad I did.. It looks awesome! I will get some daylight pictures up soon. I also painted over some stuff (plaster or paint I dunno) that was spilled on the engine (before it came into my possession) and now it looks better.

I had to repaint the grill because the paint had started coming off and had the chrome was coming through in places and it looked tacky. Now it looks good again. I also added airbags to the rear suspension so it rides with a little meaner look. : )

Hey, nice to see your still going strong at the LeSabre. I have a simple intake system on the way and will be getting it on in a week or so. How tough was your fog light system to install wiring wise?
