'87 turbo Buick...

Here's an album with a lot of frame pics that I need to update. It's boxed in already and I have a Watt's link from SC&C that I need to weld in as well.

I just picked up an 87 El Camino. After the Camaro is finished. I plan on upgrading the engine and suspension on the El Camino. It currently has the original 305 with 140k miles on it.

Upgrade brakes to at least have disc in rearusing Scarebird conversion brackets.(for now)
Lower car a bit, I think front springs are wrong for this car, looks like 4x4 in front, real freakin stiff too, going to MOOG 5658's
Rear I like the stance but could sit lower
Wheels and tires...dunno yet... maybe wider taller tires on the front (for now)
the current fronts looks like roller skates at 25.4".
Would love to go to at least 17" rims and tires,and bigger brakes
Eventually paint and Body work

Then whatever else I think I need or can do.

Trying to do all this on a budget
