New member, pics of resto project

[rosewood turbo]

Some may know me from other Buick sites. I bought this car(avatar pic) in MD at a salvage auction, I recently discovered that it used to belong to TimType87 a Magnabuick member, as you see the thieves butchered it but its coming back to life with a little hard work. If anyone knows him, have him contact me Id like to find some history on it and let him know its in good hands again. Hi everyone, glad to be here .

 

[no-nos]

good to see your going to bring her back to life, take pics of progress. don't know the guy but keep us posted on the progress, does it have a drivetrain?

 

[rosewood turbo]

Yes it was about the only reason besides interior to save it. The cooler, pipes, intake tube w/ map, rear axle all gone. I just wish they had been kinder to it, the rear arms hacked with a torch, dropped on the front corner and busted the header. I just bought an 85 GN shell last night so I have what I need to get it driving. Thanks for the encouragment.

I am also a MAGNA member, someone posted Tim to PM you. I am glad you are bringing it back to life. I wanted to buy it from him before it went to auction, but it would have sat for a couple of years while I finish my WE4. Just didn't want to see it crushed!

Welcome and congrats! Tim's old car was very nice! I'm sure you can bring it back to life! If you go on the MAGNA page on TBs.com and make a post I'm sure he will respond. I can send him a PM for you also.

Thanks everybody. I hate to see them crushed too, I always watch the sales since I'm a SC dealer, in fact if anyone is looking for there wrecked, stolen ect car I'll see what I can find or if you just want a project I can buy at closed auction for you.

Great Job on saving another rosewood!!!

Just wanted to say Thanks Daniel Ray (Dreamscape Kustom Paint) & let you know no you don't get to guess LOL.

Looks like it has molded in gnx fender flares. Nice starter car by the way was sad to hear about what happend when it was stolen form Tim

10%...

The header panel! Has no emblem.

 

[rosewood turbo]

The header panel has no header. I swear the wreckers and loader drivers do as much damage as the thieves. No flairs, they just look wider with no axle or tires showing. I thought about GNX add ons but that only seems right on a black car.

 

[garyk1970]

theres no limited chrome at the botom....

 

[miz]

There no emblem on the header panel.

Tim rears only, good eye :biggrin:
Yes the header panel emblem is missing but the holes are there for it.

Gary you are also correct. Danny & I opted to go with a thin chrome strip on the bottom. That way the rear flares wouldn't be noticable.
Alot of the chrome wasn't installed due to the paint not being cured.
He did a great job putting the wheel well molding on the flare.
