Roger - 1983 Buick Riviera

 

 

Approaching putting it on the road now. I bought the car from fellow club member Phil last year after it caught fire. I repaired the fire damage a couple of months ago (easy), then found the engine had no compression on #2 cylinder. I was going to break my Cutlass Wagon for parts - they have the same Olds 307 engine, but I found an Olds 350 engine on ebay.

 

In the last few weeks I removed the old engine, swapped the sump, inlet manifold, distributor put the engine in, then took it out again and swapped torque converter plates!

 

I have just sorted out the wiring for the rear lights to comply with UK regs & should have it on the road in the next couple of weeks.
