Nice find indeed! What are your plans for it?

[inspector01]

Pics......sounds like a lucky find.

[SPANISH-RICE]

so with all those new parts what was your total investment? sounds like you got a helluva deal there! good find and good luck....with a dsm lol

[Evan]

Wow thats awesome. Congrats. Pics are a must

[Grr]

New parts? I just parted out my other one, so i had every nut, bolt, and washer i needed to fix it for free. All i did was fill any mount i could get to with poly, also kept the 3-bolt rearend for now, but i need to get a 4-bolt sometime
I plan on using it as my DD, and making it pretty for awhile. Plans include:
doing a timing belt and water pump soon
theres a broken stud on the manifold i need to fix
making a full 3" exhaust since it doesnt have one
i imagine it will need a clutch eventually
tint
major cleaning
I bought those 17" wheels z31 was selling for it, they look killer on there
fix a couple small oil leaks
Thats pretty much it for now, i dont plan on doing any performance mods on it at the moment, just the free mods. Need to get the buick back on the road first off. I wont be driving it for another month or so anyway, need to get the title for it which could take a little time, or maybe apply for a lost if the guy cant find it, thats just how it is.

Project name= Project please do not go boom!

[inspector01]

I do think it is funny when people get DSM's as DDs. Their other car must be always broken.....

Too late, i guess i should have done the t-belt and tensioner first.
Anyone want to donate a set of intake valves they have laying around??

[zbrown]

you really broke the timming belt that fast??

quit letting jason drive things

[KA-T_240]

Grip!

[Grr]

didnt break, think it slipped from a weak tensioner. Anyway all the intake valves are bent.
BUT, i guess it isnt a terrible thing to happen, ive just hot a ton of porting to do now, lol. Anyway, its gonna be apart for awhile so im gonna port the head, intake, maybe get a 2g manifold, port the turbo and make a 3" elbow, downpipe, remove all the emmissions shit and clean up the engine bay.

Oh man, that sucks. Well I still wanna see pictures of it, so post em up!

[bubba]

dsm fails again.... good luck on the project

[Grr]

meh, you guys and your dsm hatred. 90% of all dsm problems can be traced to just plain poor maitinence, its simple as that. Even in my case, i knew i had to replace it, but i thought i could at least get it washed first, guess not.
anyway, heres some pics

[zbrown]

that sucks

He really fucked the original subframes, rest looks really clean though

you pull the head off yet?

Exactly, its just a case of an old timing belt that needed to be replaced. Simple as that. Looks good though. :icon_thumleft:

Agreed... same goes for people and their hatred of rotaries......

Looks like a nice project!
