i have a 81 buick regal century wagon, with v6 auto, woudl like to upgrade drivetrain to a turbo as well as change the front clip t a grand national look (it is curretnly the 2 healight system and obviously 4 doors vs 2, not sure how fenders will line up at the doors, or is it easier to mod the fenders at the header (presuming hood is okay?

any advice or parts our there?
thanks
i apologize in advance if this is against the common GN mythology but the idea of a GN wagon IS a possibility thet GM never explored and i am sure someone must have thought of this at one point but...

Sounds cool to me. Good luck. People have put these engines in S-10's, RX7's, TR7's, Cadilacs, etc. Why not a wagon?

Try the "hybrid" forum on over at www.turbobuicks.com.

Gord: I have 83 Regal wagon with 87 TR drive train in it. It is a fun car and gets lots of attention. I did not build the car but the guy that did could not make the front clip work at all. The hood does not fit either. It would be a great improvement if it could be done. Here are some pics at this site.

It is for sale if interested. Let me know if you have questions about it. Glenn West, Jacksonville, Fl
