Back when I was 17 I bought my first car.
1981 3.8l v6 Buick Regal Sports Coupe (t-roofs also/turbo ect)
I knew nothing about it at the time, cept that I loved the look of it.
That car fit in with this msg board area?
Car History - Like any 17yr old I abused the crap outta it -sorry
Ended up blowing up the motor on DeerFoot in Calgary 7 yrs ago
Put a Buick 307 under the hood - biggest mistake I ever made
Girlfriend also loved the car. I married her =]
307 soon died, and car sat for 6 yrs.
Two mo ago. Came home form work, and saw that my kid (5 yr old)had removed the T-roofs. It was raining. Replaced t-roofs and locked car
Last Month (Aug). Son found car locked. So used a jack-all jack to smash in t-roofs. *screams*
Replaced both t-roofs with t-roofs from 85 monte carlo SS. Decided to fix up "the old girlfriend" as the wife calls it
Today - Discovered just how hard it is to find a 3.8L Turbo motor.
Guys help me out here? I NEED a 3.8L turbo motor.
Advice most welcome.
PS. Sorry if im at wrong msg board =]
Pss. I know it prob cheaper to just get another similar car, but cant do. This is my 1st car ever bought, and I WILL fix it.
