i know many of you are proably going to get tired of hearing about my car, but i couldnt resist, i stole a battery out of one of our moving vans and i put it in the buick to see what still works, the power windows work, the headlights, high beams, tail lights all work, il keep every one updated as i find out more news about my car. i dont have the keys so i cant try to start it or turn on the radio yet, the only downside thier is a short in one of the windows so it heats up fast so i cant keep the battery connected. but fucking sweet, the power top doesnt work but its easy enough to manualy put the top up and down. she could be road worthy in 2 weeks but it would be a big eyesoar in its current condition.

well just got back from a days work on the old buick, most of the time was spent on cleaning out the trunk, whata mess, i should have taken pictures. but the guy had no clue what he was doing with the car while he still had it, he used tar to line and seal the trunk pan, what a bitch it was to clean out. but on a better note the trunk pan does need to be replaced so i dont have to scrub it spotless.
