New Member: 1986 Buick Estate Wagon Restoration Project

I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you Tedy - It would be GREAT if we both got our doors looking right...

 

Took a few more pics of the 1980 Cutlass cruiser. Tedy was thinking there might be some things for his:

 

OK...I'll have to delete some pics from my gallery and try loading pics that way. For some reason It won't let me put pics up from my PC??

Lets try this...... BUICK door clip.

 

Dam, mail me the whole thing Norm.

Yes there are a few things, I'd really like both hinges for the tailgate glass. 1 of mine broke a time back and not being able to find one I got creative and repaired it but I think it's one of those......it is'nt going to hold fore ever repairs.

The front drivers door panel is 2 piece. If it's a power window car the upper panel with the wood if it's not warped/scratched etc. I gimped out and fell into mine and warped the alum wood panel part. I removed and straighted it but it streached and has a curve to it now:banghead3:

WTF???? Now I can't even load a pic from my gallery......


look here....

 

So the door burled wood part is for the 1983 Buick, right?

I'll check the Cutlass for that woodie door trim panel. Spittin' rain again this afternoon, AGAIN!!! Had to get cough medicine yesterday. and it calmed down. I dress warm when its this ornery. Tomorrow's lookin' better for this run. Carbie and headlights today. Heater tomorrow (means dash removal)

 

Yup, the blue door panel is Crewzer.. Don't get sick Norm, take a six pac of Neocitron and sweat it out for a day.

 

Your's are on the way, 442 - 7 days by land. PMed you already.

 

Whew! Got confuddled. So the 1987 Buick needs nothing, The 1983 Olds Cruiser need door panel and handle covers.

I was just scanning these Buick brochures and found squat for 1983, after looking for a front end to ID the beast.

I checked your pics of the trim in the Gallery and realized I got it wrong. I'm good. Looking at various Olds brochures now, to see which years might work (detective hat on... , brain working again...)

From what I can see in those, the 1983 is the only year to pick from, right? I checked from 1980 to 1985.

 

Here guys, here's the main page to that Brochure site. Eyepopping pics and some good notes:

I picked up some NyQuil and DayQuil. Really helped. Lots of layered clothing when I'm outside, but rain just aggravates the aggravation. Going to bed early. We start off the day with 9C, instead of 0C tomorrow. Gonna hit the 20's by the weekend! Yippee!

 

OK, I even missed sum tin here in the translation. The Buick needs...


BUICK door clip.









The Cruiser...


...is 1982 or up because it has dual front head lites. As for 1983 being the only year for interiour trim, I honestly could'nt tell you, I've never seen another with power windows.....I've only seen few but at 50MPH. I wish i could have the whole car Norm just because......

Hey 442, is your wagon PW? Does this aluminum woody door panel resemble yours? I can't remember if yours is power or not, if hand crank could I make it work?

 

Now I've got all the pictures! Thanks Tedy. On my todo list.

 

Ka Bump.....

I should be up and running by Saturday, for a good JY Run. Feeling better too. Warm weather starts today for almost a week! Gone to play!
