MY ongoing project. Cockerpunk you'd appreciate its power plant- Buick Regal V6 transplant and currently converting to Grand National hair dryer.

Putting it up for sale and/or parting it out.

It was a pretty solid ride. : / Gotta love known problems that aren't taken care of by recalls. These items are pretty much a death sentence of a lot of cars.
I'm starting hard shopping for my next car. I've been without for a little over a year. I don't have a huge budget for it, but I'm prowling for something decent in the low budget range. I generally find one or two gems when I'm looking.
