    Welcome

    Thx for all the welcoming replies. Let me give you a little background on my Buick. I bought it from a used car lot around Columbus Ohio in August of 2009 with just over 69,000 miles on it . It now has just over 113,000 miles on it now . The car runs and drives like a dream. It does not use oil or any other fluids. The back of it have a couple of dents and the previous owns grandson put a few cigarette burns in the seats and door cards. I am in process of fixing the I am going to try and post some pictures. I took these a while back . I have my car out on cardomain as well. I have tried to update the interior with blacking out the chrome and adding gauges. I added a Aux fuse panel under the hood and added a self dimming rearview mirror. It also has a trans cooler. I do not smoke so turned my ashtray into a switch panel for the various accessories that I have wired into the car like a rear lighter plug and switched light . A green led strip just behind the grill . A switched usb port behind the trim panel on the passenger side where the air vents are . I also put the lift hatch release button in the ashtray area as well. I also put in a second dome light that has a signal indicator in it as well. The tail lights come from a Oldsmobile wagon. I have removed the antenna and filled that hole in and repainted the panel ( With a rattle can paint from auto touchup company) I have to take more updated pictures to let you see what I have done since these were taken.
    My Chevy I purchase in 2007 When I bought it the guy used it as a fishing car . So it it's paint job is in no shape to have it's picture taken. When I got this car It needed a lot of work!!! After a new fuel pump ,fuel sensor , removing the dent in the roof , replacing the headliner , converting the manual windows to power , replacing the dashpad on the passenger side , replacing the mismatched tail lights , replacing the rims with period correct type wheels , fixing the lighter, Adding the lock to the rear trunk compartment and adding the courtesy door on the rear cubby hole , fixed the trim and replaced the drivers sideview mirror . Lets see I think is about I . All I have left to go the replacing the ac , paint it , replace the carpet, add power seats . Then the car will be ready for it's closeup. there will be more upgrades or conversions to come. I hope someday I can take these cars to a car show and win something even if it is a honorable mention. You can't tell I am longwinded can you . I have a question would any of you be located near Greenville Sc? It would be nice to meet a fellow wagon enthusiast.
