WhiteT Posted July 12, 2008 Report Share Posted July 12, 2008 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: http://i77.photobucket.com/albums/j42/whitet231/exterior1-1.jpg http://i77.photobucket.com/albums/j42/whitet231/vsbanana1.jpg not the best interior pic, but it gives you an idea what it looks like inside http://i77.photobucket.com/albums/j42/whitet231/100_1479.jpg 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. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WhiteT Posted July 12, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 12, 2008 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: http://i77.photobucket.com/albums/j42/whitet231/100_1459.jpg NHRA certified! http://i77.photobucket.com/albums/j42/whitet231/100_1461.jpg battery relocation: http://i77.photobucket.com/albums/j42/whitet231/100_1472.jpg 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.... ) and finish my cam install. I'll try to get some pics if the camera decides to work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
