    Hey guys,

    i've found myself another buick.
    I;ve found it locally here in The Netherlands about 25 km from my house.

    Its a 4 door 1964 buick special with a 300 v8 st300 and a clock, I think that where all the options on it haha
    The car has been built in Antwerp ( Belgium ) and has Belgium papers as well ( so i need to import it to dutch papers )


    The car is amazingly solid for a 1964 car with only rust on the rear quarters and some pinholes in the passenger floor. ( perhaps the front window channel aswell )
    As u can see it needs a bit of work.
    good part is that the has been body off sometime in its past and all the suspension bushes and ball joints and stuff is in really good condition.
    Plan is to make it a decent fast and safe daily driver and upgrade towards a pro touring kinda style and make it suited for daily driver duties during rush hour and perhaps replace my jeep in the future

    Im thinking of getting some kind of big brake disk system on it from a later model corvette/camaro.
    the future engine is gonna be an 5.3 LS engine with a 4l80 ( if i can find one here )
    not sure yet what to do on the chassis side to get it to handle a bit better apart from a zj steering box since i work in a jeep garage.
    all this will need to be done on a budget

    Let me know what u guys think

    Regards Lennard
