    Hi all

    Im restoring since November 2006 a Buick GS 400 from 1969. A few of you, know me...
    I restore the Buick in my Garage under our House. The garage is max. 10% bigger than the buick :/ . It is and was very tight and dark....

    Here are the pics ... first 20...

    Nice greets fron switzerland

    Hi Robert,
    Great pics and good luck with your Buick! Your garage reminds me of my grandmother's garage which I used to have my Buick parked in before I bought my own house - is was incredibly cramped for space and I could not even open the door all the way to exit the car. Also had to put tire stoppers in the garage so I knew when my Buick was all the way in the garage and preventing me from driving through her kitchen on the other side of the garage wall!

    Johny, where did you get the front spoiler from? How hard was it to mount it? Can we get some profile (side) shots of it? Thanks


    Sweet car by the way.

    I bought it by TA Performance, but on the Spoiler was a decal with "the parts place " i sure you know what i mean ... buy it by TPP ;) . It was easy to install, lol in the set was 6 bolts and 2 Nuts and 1 smaller bolt that was all... I mount it with 4 M8 bolts supportet with big subject discs. Sure, tomorrow i will shot Pictures from the side... no problem :)

    You'll like the pypes setup. I used it on my 69 with T/A downpipes. Very easy to put together and very strong. What are the square red things on the taillights? Reflectors?

    Very nice looking 69!
