    Aloha
    I'm a millitary guy new to island
    I recently bought a 85 grand national
    Love her to death but she needs some repair
    So I ran across this guy at last car show with his 8sec grand national
    He says best thing I can do is come on these fourms and introduce myself
    As I said earlier I'm new so really don't know which shops are good and which aren't much less where to get performance parts for turbo. Buick any such info whould be great
    Thank you for your time

    Also to the guy who had his 8sec Buick gn at the car show at windward mall please contact me id like to learn more how you converted to v8
    Just curious

    Welcome! :)

    Best place to buy stuff: Online through the vendors on this board.

    Best shop: None. Do it yourself.

    Best place for info on these cars: You're already here!.... :cool:

    Machine work: Ted's, Snyder's, etc...

    Head work: I'd buy a ported set from a vendor. If you're talking about a valve job, then the aforementioned can take care of that as well. :)

    I spotted a GN when I was at the Checkers/O'reillys off of Salt Lake Blvd. Wondering if it was anyone on here...

    easiest way is to find a rusty donor car.

    If not... :biggrin:
