Okay, I'll give you some of that, as I have certainly seen what you describe. And I do appreciate the way in which you responded. I still have a problem where you use "majority" and "most of" though. And my experience is much different. As opposed to officers believing they can bend the...

You bet!!! Thanks for the welcome!

I'm sorry, friend, but there's alot of assumptions there. I'm sorry if that's your experience with the police. While police are not above the law, they are charged with enforcing the law and are not exactly on equal footing with citizens on the street. It ain't easy out there, believe me...

All that's great, but if you really want to get people's attention these days you need to talk about the four NOS 1987 grilles that you found, the 3 sets of headlight bezels, the two complete brand new Powermaster brake units and, of course, the 4 sets of GM rear bumper fillers that you bought...

It's good you got such a good deal. You will need the money you saved on the initial purchase to: a) make it go faster; b) make it look pretty; c) make it start. Welcome to Hell. (But you're in good company) ;)

Car cover would be a very good idea. Also, do whatever you can to keep the rodents out. They can do alot more damage than you would think. They will nest in the seats, engine bay, etc. They will eat wires and hoses. Plug up your exhaust pipes! Obviously, take the battery out of the car and...

How about the XB Falcon from Mad Max and The Road Warrior. I know that car could never be as cool as the "Tokyo Drift" :rolleyes: car, but......

Thanks, man!

Installing new Moog front swaybar bushings. I'm having a hell of a time seeing how the bushings are going to allow the brackets to seat flush to the frame once they are bolted in. I know my original stock ones did, but they were really compressed and dead when taken out. Should the brackets...

Not to get way off the subject, but I sometimes wonder about the future of our cars from a parts availability standpoint. There have been some pretty important sensors discontinued over the past couple of years, and it will only get worse over time. With a relatively limited number of these...

Buick dropped the name "T-Type" for the 1987 models. Where it may really get confusing is when you use the name "Turbo T" to describe the 1987 non-Grand National Turbo Regals. There are some WE4 owners who will tell you that the WE4 was named the "Turbo T" and that anything else is just a...

Great looking car! You may already know this, but if you're taking the front bar off by yourself, be very careful that you don't strip the threads in the frame when removing the bolts. The frame threads are very thin, and the bolts in the bracket are special. If you allow the sway bar's...

Yes, I bled the system right after the swap. I was thinking that the brake light being constantly on was a result of the Powermaster no longer being plugged in, but I could be wrong (probably).

Brake light is perpetually on now that the Powermaster is unplugged and out of the car. Installed vaccum system, but the light is still there. How do you make it stay off? Thanks.

I agree with the last post. Even if the car has to go, you can always get another one when things aren't as tight. I'm from California, too, and I know what the cost of living out here can do with the old finances. I'm still trying work my car into my life after having it in storage...

Welcome!! As a new member also, I can assure you that the knowledge about these cars is definately here (just not much from me).:) When you have questions or problems, do a thorough search. If you can't find the answer, post a question. If you post it...they will answer.

I've had my 87 T for about 12 years, and it has sat the last 8 after the Powermaster failed. Like a moron, I just lost interest in the car. Now, having seen the error of my ways, I'm fixing the brakes (vacuum conversion). I was under the dash looking at what I was going to have to do...

Thanks for all the suggestions and support, guys. I never thought of getting the Buick to be the source of a family activity, but I like that idea alot. I just need to make sure my five year old has his plastic tools in his hand when he's in the garage "working" on the car. "How many times...

It had been a dream to own one of these cars since I first saw one in 1987. I swore I would own one before I died. I got my chance in 1996 when my buddy sold me his. Driving the car was like no other car I had ever driven. Fast forward to present. My 87 T has been sitting for eight...
