Here's my 1983 Buick Regal estate wagon. It's kind of rare, not many were made. This page is of pictures of the exterior of my car, page two is of the engine, and three is for the interior.

Here are some of the original exterior shots with my other wagon in the background.

The previous owner painted the car flat black, but I wish it was still white, because that's what color it's going to be when it's finished. This is how I got the wagon, it looked pretty much like this, except it had a set of 14" 80's S-10 wheels on it.

The plan is to make a T-type wagon like it would look if they made them from the factory. For the exterior I got a T-type hood, new fenders, and a newer front clip, all off of an 84, T-type wheels, and a roll pan. I'll also want to paint it the original color white again and tint the windows. These are the pictures, taken after the front clip swap. I got a front clip off of an 84 Grand National and swapped it on. It looks ten times better.

When we put the new front clip on, there was a huge gap in between the doors and the fenders. I went down to the junkyards and hacked off the front portion of a coupe's doors and welded them on. All I have to do now is bondo over the seam, and nobody will ever know...

I acquired a set of t-type wheels, tires, and caps for $400 off of craigslist. They are on my car now. I also painted the rear drums gloss black.

Here are two shots of my Buick wagons together....what a couple!
