Default Some Pics of my Mild Custom 87

Just thought I would share some pics of my car.

Body was completely stripped to bare metal and painted with base clear, including the painted pin striping. Removed the bumperettes and rubber strips, and smoothed out the bumpers, also deleted trunk lock.

Put in new upper door panels, and dash applique kit, other than that, the interior is stock. Added a scanmaster.

Motor is bored over 30, bigger cam, ported heads and intake, no cat, TA-49 turbo, street plus 10 chip, adjustable wastegate, adjustable fuel pr reg, just installed new ignition module, coil, and wiring harness from caspers.

Trans has shift kit, upgraded servo, and 2800 stall.

Stock 3.42 posi rear.


Don't know what to do for rims. Refinish or go aftermarket. Anyone got any pics of their car with aftermarket rims? POST em!

hello; Go to the TurboBuick.com site. Look for the official wheel and tire area. You'll like it. I go to all sites so I don't think me telling about it here is a problem.
On the engine by just by taking the overflow and windshield washer tanks out and washing them internally and out really helps the look anyway.
keep up the good work
have fun

Paint the up pipe and radiator header/metal and it'd really clean up the under hood look.

Also, we have wheel and tire info here on the site, including all the backspacing and measurement info.

Towards the bottom here:

I don't think Ken said there were pictures of wheels on cars at that link. There is the info to properly fit wheels on cars.
