Nothing special, except that I had to go three freakin' months without a car, and finally this is done... It's just a base Lumina 3.1 with the 3-spd... fresh recipient of my '92 Euro's '91 Buick 3.1.
I like the trimless fenders on it, it makes the wheels look nice somehow... and it has that funky half spoiler/half rack thing on the trunk... and a light grey interior (all 3 of my other luminas have had burgundy)...
The motor was just finished being installed, and it's all together and on the road, but I have a few things to finish on it, like the sticky driver's side rear caliper, the 3 spd's lockup issue, one tailpipe mount, replacement of rear leaf bushings, and replacement of one underhood brace bolt. I'm also getting a very dim temp warning after 15 or so minutes that I'll have the garage look at tomorrow.
But still, I paid $600 for it last year, and have dumped $150 a week totalling $1100 into the motor switch along with a top end gasket set replacement.
It's been too dang long since I last had a reliable ride (the '92 euro had teh engine cradle break while driving... lost my steering while driving, and I said "I'm done with you, you're gonna give your motor to the '93!".
... so yeah, just sharing my good news I guess. ;)
