This 1987 Buick Grand National hardtop was dead and buried.This 59,000 original mile car has been picked clean by the vultures but still has its original numbers matching heart (engine). It is out of its grave and coming back.  There is just enough left to bring it back to life.

 

 

Body for this car was made on April 22nd 1987

 

Getting the body off the frame and looking at those body bushings

Cant reuse this one

The number 5 or GNX bushing will be added.

New bushings on a freshly painted frame

Front wheel wells restored

Making the chassis and suspension like new again

 

 

 

 

Dash wires: OH MY GOD this is not the way to remove a dash. None of the wires are labels, all of the corresponding screws were strewn about the car and many of the wires appear not to be from a Buick. They may be the remnants of past alarm systems. This will be one of the more challenging parts of the project but we are up to the task.
