New Limited owner here....

[gtfrede]

Hey all my name is Greg Frede and as of this past weekend I am the proud new owner of a 1987 turbo limited rosewood t-top car....Im 18 years old and have been brought up around these cars. Let me give you some of my background so you can better understand that although I may fall into the category of a "young punk" I am very respectful to others and try and absorb any tidbit of knowledge I can aquire. I am not new to turbo cars being that I also still have a 91 eagle talon tsi awd auto that I have been tinkering with...I have always hoped to one day end up in the driver's seat of my own turbo buick. My dad has an 87 silver tr that I have been introduced to at a very early age....My uncle has a chestnut brown (doodoo brown) 87 limited as well as a slightly built 70 GS 455 and has had many a turbo buick. My dad also has a 71 440 GTX that he was getting reckless ops in while I was in my baby seat in the back. So needless to say domestics have been bred into me through genetics and I aquired a taste for powerful imports throughout the years myself...anything that is an engineering marvel peaks my interest as well as anything with gobs of power...This rosewood car is in very good hands as I plan to one day give it a full ground up restoration and will retain the stock look with no butchering of the car being in the plans...just some fattys out back with some 245's in the front running high elevens is my goal for the car...and from what I know about turbo buicks is very easily obtainable

Just thought I would introduce myself to try and get started with my training

Thanks
Greg

Joe is doing great! He has his last surgery august 13 then its all downhill from there...hopefully. You are probably thinking about the sage green 84 that unfortunatly was gotten rid of out from under my nose by a "family member" who I trusted to keep the car until I could do something with it. Man I was pissed and so was joe and Jason, well everyone involved that new about the car was dissappointed actually. Thanks for all the kind welcomings. And I still have some paying off to do before I can even think about saving but trust me I will be once I can. I like hearing about great ideas haha:biggrin: Cant wait to be a wrench monkey when that shop is done

Welcome! Your family has great taste in cars
Always nice to see these cars with the right owners.

Drive safe with the car! When I was 16, I had a '98 LS1, heads/cam; had it wrecked in 3 months (slicks + rain)
