installed the HRbar, UMi adj Uppers, Fixed UMI lowers, Poly Rear bushings, qa1 R's up front
 
I spent the day painting the underside of the body with bed liner. and i have to say that it looks good.:biggrin:
 
Swapped over to 60lb injectors! Much easier job the 2nd time around. But still, listen to what everyone says, buy 60s the first time so you don't have to do it twice, lol.

First real work I've been able to do on the car this year, thanks to never-ending snow. It's nice to reek of 93 octane again. :)
 
Installed vac brakes and starter the install of a line lock. Also the machine shop called this afternoon and told me that the heads are done, so maybe this weekend I will get the engine back together again and ready for implant.

Let me know how you like the vac brakes. Can't decide which conversion I wanna do.
 
Installed trim, emblems, door panels, and interior. Paints sooo new it's smelling up the garage.......:D

looked at it taking up space in my garage with a coating of dust all over it, It deserves to be sold.

Naw....don't sell it. You'll only regret it later. My car was in the body shop for 8 months getting restored and it was killing me not having it the whole time! Now, all is well in Turbo Buick land..............:D

Got a lil stupid on the .....(never break the speed limit on public roads :biggrin: ) this morning coming to work.
Some younger guy in a newer VW whatever car kept getting over in front of me and slowing and I had the cruise on so I would change lanes and pass. He kept on and on.
He finally hemmed me up behind this semi and then looked over and grinned then floored it then a few miles down the road there he is putting along in the middle lane and, still having the cruise on, I ease by.
He jumps over and flys up on my back bumper, I get over. Well this time when he was going to pass me I floored it.
Had not blew out the 87 in a bit so I wound out into OD aways. Of course he was a spec in the mirror....did a recall on the SM and it said 141mph...yikes.
Jeez the car was still pullling when I lifted...gota love alky:D
Definetly got a lil carried away, was thinking jeez what if I had a blow out or a cop caught me.
Man im getting old...But it was fun..wee hew:biggrin:
 
Havent been doing much. Been gathering stuff to do my braided oil cooler lines. Got the brass fittings for the adapter so its a start. Also put new lug nuts and locks, as well as a TA Performance dumptube. It DOES fit on the 3" THDP.:cool: Going to Cecil this Saturday if the weather holds up.

Got to put a HydroBoost setup on a hybrid Firebird tommorow night. We already did the Aerospace Components four-piston calipers all around, just gotta finish up the lines. The e-brake is gonna take some creativity, so that should be fun...
 
Had so much fun changing injectors earlier today that I went back out for Round 2, removed my stock location intercooler, intake piping, etc, to prepare for turbo swap, new intercooler, etc. So much more room with all that garbage out of the engine bay!
 
Window seals and door speakers.

My god those seals were a bitch :( glad I only had to replace the driver side (they were cracked and rotted.

Also ran it like a rental, got sideways coming out of O'reilly's wheeee!
 
Got to drive my son's T-Camino to work for the first time after the transplant, I had forgotten how much i love that turbo whine. Now to take some boost back out before I turn him loose with it....

Today it was dash speakers, didn't get finished, need to mount them below the bracket and they weren't very fond of trying to reproduce too much bass so I had to pick some bass blockers up for them this evening, should get it finished tomorrow.
 
Finished assembly and primed the new motor:D
Now I got to pull the old one out:frown:

Ok finally done with this round of misc crap, this week I put on a new window seal on the door to replace the cracking old one so hopefully less water goes down into the door. Also put one on my truck too, since the driver side on it was all busted too, funny thing is, NEITHER of them needed a passenger side one so I have a brand new passenger side window seal for an 85 truck and GN both.

Also put in new Eclipse door speakers, and new Eclipse dash speakers, and a new door lock switch. Just a handful of stupid little annoyances mostly.
