Crappy ?

What was wrong with your long gone crappy 87 GN ?

 

[TurboGTA]

my crappy GN

was a mistake from the beginning

I bought the cheapest one I could find

87 T-top GN with 140,000 abused miles from Kirban for $3,000

needed turbo rebuilt-at least it was a TE44 (new center section $500)


tranny rebuild by a local tranny guy who owns 2 GN's and swore he new how to build a 2004r $600

tranny does not work right at all

rust- never fixed it

powermaster brakes-never fixed it

oil leaks- pain in my ass

bad handling, bad brakes and loads of power-- not a good combination for me


I played around with that POS for a yr and a half- pulled the drivetrain out and sold the body to a bodyshop for $2,000
( he was rebuiding a customers car-a 10 second show winning car that got driven into a telephone pole __ see above bad handling ,bad brakes)

3yrs later I still have tons of Buick parts well it's a long story- I was collecting all the parts for a swap into a GTA when I totaled the GTA in the rain (still had the 350 in it)


still searching for the right car to drop my engine into

later
