Bit more progress

That's a nice car! My first turbo Buick was a '87 Maroon t-type and I miss it, does yours have the maroon buckets with the console shifter?

Thanks, yes it does have buckets and a console shifter.

Degreased, sanded and painted the valve covers and accessory bracket

Replaced all the loom under the hood with Racetronix stuff. Continued with the painting and degreasing. Now in the process of putting Humpty Dumpty back together again.

Nice T, of course you know it's the best color out there

Nice T, of course you know it's the best color out there

I second both points by far the best color

 

[ttypewhite]

Got some motivation to do some more. Sanded and painted the fuel rail, ignition module bracket, throttle cable bracket, and the bracket that supports the ignition module at the back of the intake, also flushed and cleaned the injectors too. I will more then likely have it running again on the weekend. I hope.

 

[ttypewhite]

Last night I had done more. Also bought a new alt.

 

[LC2ROD]

Wow! Very nice. Always loved that color.

Step 4 was getting some 275's on the back. Pulled it out today so I could finally get some pics outside.

Went by my buddy Jack's place at Racetronix to glass bead the Turbo shield, rad plate, up pipe, turbo compressor, and the bracket for the power steering res

Very nice, how many hours would you estimate you have in the engine compartment Mike?

 

[ttypewhite]

At the very least.........about 40 hours. When I get my mind wrapped up into it, I tend to let it snowball into other things and takes forever to get it back together. But I am very pleased with the end result.

Nice pick up on the T-Type.....what kind of rims you got on the white one

 

[ttypewhite]

GTA rims, with the back ones widened to 10" by Brian @ G-bodyparts.

Damn that car looks terrific! You weren't joking when you said it looked like new paint. Both of your cars are exceptional. Great job on getting the maroon T cleaned up, all those pics are very helpful.
