Hello, my name is Adam. In the spring, I bought a 91 Buick Roadmaster. It was sitting for like 7 years and had green growing all over it. I got her fixed up enough to get it inspected/registered and insured. There's still a lot that needs to be done to drive it fairly regularly.

It has the 305 TBI engine in it now. I'm going to be doing the probably-worn-out-and-tired LS swap sometime next year. This will probably be the wife's second car- she wanted an 80's square bodied station wagon, but I got this cheap enough that she'll survive. The LS swap will be one shooting for reliability and more efficient rather than doing burnouts and getting timeslips at the track.

I've got a few other projects- 64 Olds 98, 97 Tahoe, 86 F150 and a 3rd gen 4runner (which will be sold soon enough). I've been known to jump around from project to project, really never finishing any of them.

Thank you for having me.
Adam

Nice, welcome aboard. All 91 wagons had the 305, they started to offer the 350 in 92 (Standard in the Buick, optional in the Olds and Chevy).

Love that Oldsmobile!

The moldy paint is a bear. Give it a light sanding, then 2 coats of sealer. I finished mine off with single stage and a hardener. As these wagons become more collectable as tokens of when America still made stuff, you'll be getting thumbs up on the road. Best of luck.
