    Bought definite project. Sorting through it all but for sure it needs a water pump, radiator, belts, hoses, a few Switches.. The shocks look original? We'll see what else.

    Looks pretty straight on this side and the rear. Got a pic of the other side and the front? The interior?

    Haven't taken any interior pics yet, but it's mostly decent. There does seem to be a leak somewhere in the cargo area, window seal has seen better days, thinking that's the issue. Here's a passenger side photo:[​IMG]

    Yes, that is straight. How does the Di-Noc look, up close?

    I'm glad someone here picked it up.
    It had a thread here:
    http://www.stationwagonforums.com/forums/threads/1989-buick-electra-estate-wagon.51517/

    If my other car had sold, I was planning to go snap it up. I'm definitely going to watch what you do with it.

    Di-Noc is better than I would have expected, not perfect but for 30 years old it's great.
