my 80 regal limited

[1986 Buick GX1]

thank you ill start cutting out the rust this weekend maybe even start putting in new metal the repairs wont be pretty bead rolled perfect pieces that look like the orignal metal but they will be watertight and strong

I don’t envy you. This has been quite an undertaking.
Your persistence is undaunted.

That will really stiffen things up back there.
Maybe some speaker box material glued down would look good too?

next step for the trunk will be bedliner

 

[futten]

made som adjustable body bushings for the #5 position as i have all the other bushings in aluminum and it would be a pain in the ass to get the disstance between the frame and body on static bushings i decided il made these adjustable once

 

[futten]

took alot of years but finally the body is back on the frame

 

[futten]

tiny bit of progress today also

Big or small, progress is progress. That’s more than I’ve gotten done lately.

Nice work, but how is all that bass from the gigantic subwoofers getting through there?? Lol
