Visited www.BUICKLAND.com
Good people there, too.

 

I didn't tell my wife that the board was down. she thinks that i was being nice by doing honey dos that i have put off for a long time. now it is time to start putting off the list.
glad to have it back :laugh:

 

There is nothing wrong with mopars

 

I agree on that, but: Why is that Mopar guys always claim that there's something wrong with Buicks ........ o No:

 

I spent way too much time on Ebay and bought a nice low miles '72 Skylark. Should be picking it up next weekend.

Started putting my Electra back together. Hope to have her running again soon.

 

I panicked

 

I :rant: alot and went into withdrawl. My eyes blurred :shock: , I got o No: o No: , my skin dried out, hair fell out and then I tweeked my DJ equipment and started to paint the engine on the LeSabre :TU: . As John Astin used to say on Night Court -- " I'm feling much better now."

 

Very nice Van...That's a good looking ThermoQuad too!!!!

 

I took up model railroading. Sold the BadBradmobile to finance the new illness. Its even worse than you all know. In fact, I've combined Ebay with model railroading. My children and cat are now for sale. Somebody stop me before I auction off my internal organs oversees. Oh the humanity!!

 

I'll cover the European market for you, PM me about my commission........

 

Besides suffering major withdrawals!!........ I spent more time on the two Turbo Buick sites and the ZXR Kawasaki site and Kawasaki Triples site. Was able to replace/ rebild my PowerMaster brake system on my TR and replaced a power door lock solenoid/ linkage on the wife's Jeep. Weekend before I hung new bumper fillers on the TR. Still working on freeing a stuck cylinder on the triple (rebuild in progress) but did purchase and pour some Aero-Kroil penetrant in there. I did miss this site and all of you too!! :bglasses:

 

BPG Forums and...

I made a LIST of the honey do's to do, practiced fixing dinner, planned a family vacation....thank goodness V8Buick is back to save me!!!

I spent it stripping my 73 Triumph Bonneville and making lists of the parts I need to purchase for the re-restoration of it, I hope to have it done before summer!

 

I repainted some parts of my winter beater 74 LeSabre. Will have to do it again since someone badly chipped the paint on a door in a parking lot just 3 days after I finished it. At least, it wasn't one of the freshly painted areas!

 

online, I looked for info on what happened to v8 interspersed with refresh hits and extended visits to the hun. I didn't know about BPG or Buickland til tonight.

offline, I got a few things done.

I fixed a rust hole in one of my vans I've been meaning to get to for the last couple of years.
I painted the calipers on my Buick.
I replaced the rotor, cap and wires on the Buick. I was going to try to bore out the OEM wire clamps to 8mm and use them on my new wires but cannot locate even one of them even though I've been collecting them for the last 17 years. Strange.
I replaced all the steering linkage on the Buick, staightened the steering wheel and aligned the front end.

 

Worked on my wagon!

 

I actually almost did something to the Skylark.

Thank god I can just come here and talk about doing it.
