New Here from South Side Chicago/NW Indiana

Hey All... new guy here from the far South Side of Chicago soon to be moving to Northwest Indiana. I just bought a 1994 Buick Roadmaster Estate wagon w/Trailer Pkg off CL last week for $1000. It has 155K miles, Light blue with blue leather interior, everything seems to work except the rear windows. I've rolled them down once and they both fell out of their tracks... lol I'll have to take a look at them when I have time. In the mean-time, it's developed a hiccup which I've learned is probably the EGR valve... once payday gets here I'll replace it and let everyone know, maybe post a few pics etc. Thanks a looking forward to make some new friends in this awesome longroof community!

Looks like a heck of a score for a grand! Nice find! How's the underside look?

Pretty solid except the rear passenger side it's starting to rot... what sort of options do I have for that? I'm not entirely concerned about it right now, but it's only going to get worse. I haven't spent much time looking for aftermarket or replacement parts for these cars, can I get a floor pan?

Welcome aboard!

Welcome...........

Welcome to the group and fix the rust NOW not later!

Gotta find a donor car... floor pan. I did some research yesterday nobody seems to have sheet metal for these cars yet. Give it another few years and they might realize that these are going to "classics"

Thanks everybody for the welcomes... much appreciated!!

It would be great if someone offered floor pans but I doubt it.Kinda like the gas tank straps,
the sedan has new straps available but not our wagons.

Hard to miss it when you give me a direct link!!... lol thanks tho and it's good to be here. I'm a graphic designer and I'm trying to come up with a logo or something to have made for our longroofs... maybe a silhouette and inside it says got wood?... I dunno yet. Trying not to cross that tacky line!!!

Here is what we kind of used for our WF T-shirts. Wasn't exact as this but dam close.

Go ahead and get a lot tacky,please.

Hey Lugnutz! Where abouts in Chi-Town. Im pretty far south in Park Forest. What have you tried on your wagon so far. Here's a link to the discussion I started last week and what I've done so far. I picked up a Coolant Temp Sensor that I'm going to replace the old one either tonight or tomorrow. I've uploaded a couple of videos to youtube with the diagnostics showing RPMS and how the temp gauge bounces around every time the engine misses.
