Picking up the slack

Geez, it's been a long time since I posted here. Sorry about that but I lost all interest in the car when I couldn't get it through the DMV (Bilprovningen) inspection and get it street legal.

Still, I managed to get the engine in and done as seen in the picture to the right. I would have loved to do the AC unit properly as well but at the time I was still hoping that the company that sold me the car would pick up the bill for the restoration of it so I didnt touch it. As it stands now, I'm guessing I'll pay for it though.

On a somewhat brighter note I picked up my new TA Performance headers a couple of weeks ago that I ordered sometime in March if I recall correctly. Overseas shipping is a nightmare.

I've also decided to replace my Flowmatser 40 mufflers with the Dynomax Super Turbo's after checking with the V8Buick forum members. The 20" muffler was the recommendation but I can squeeze in the 16" at best so I'm still waiting on feedback on if that's an option.

I'll be tackling the interior this winter - or as much as I can afford at least as I'm running low on funds for various reasons. Shipping parts from the States is also an issue so I'll try and do as much as possible on my own.

Post frequency will still be a bit erratic in the next month or so until I get back to the garage mid November.
