I registered a while ago but never posted. Anyways, my name is Kevin and I have an '87 Buick Turbo T. I live in Cincy.

 

Here's some pics:

not the best interior pic, but it gives you an idea what it looks like inside

Right now the car is down due to a turbo failure. Should be up and running in a few weeks. I'm taking advantage of the down time to install a new cam that should help it out a little. I plan on going to National Trail in the beginning of August for a Buick race up there.

Looks a little different now, but this was a pic of the engine bay after I installed it last year (it's a little cleaner now):

Since I'm bored, I'll post more pics lol.

 

Had to update the cage this winter. Also rewired the car. This is an ugly pic, but it shows some of the work being performed:

battery relocation:

I used 1-0 wire for the relocating the battery. So far, no charging issues at all! I have since detailed the trunk and added a fuel cell, but my camera is being gay right now, so no new pics. Tonight I plan on putting the kids and wife to bed early (probably a no pussy night for me haha...wait a minute.... :mad: ) and finish my cam install. I'll try to get some pics if the camera decides to work.
