More disassembly
I still haven't got any time. My other car, ford granada (european) lost oil pressure on valve rockers, i had to do it first (granada is my only other car). Short to say, engine had to be disassebled in order to redo ONE bolt holding camshaft gear to camshaft. That bolt came lose, resulting in camshaft being pulled inside the block (by distributor gear). Valve rockers are oiled from camchaft bearings, and if camshaft is not in its place, it's grooves don't match bearings and... You know.
Also, the Buick is under the tarp, but still outdoors. Weather was not very nice, so I hadn't very much will to do something :)
First, photos of new goodies from U.S. e-bay:




Such photos need to be done, so i could assemble this few years ahead. This particular shows rear side window rail.


And empty place, where glass, trim and mechanism resides.


As one can see, there is a lot of problem area around rear glass.


Progress not shown on pictures - left door removed, windshield removed (in one piece, thank God!).
Below You can see dash being removed. At last! Who could know how one bolt can be troublesome :)


Dash gone. Defroster vents were also removed.


Buick was dropped on the ground again. Now i have to move it into the garage for engine/trans removal. For now i decided not to separate body from frame. First part of bodywork will be done with body on the frame. It will be easier to work without tubes welded inside for strengh. Frame will be off later. Also frame has one nice feature - it has wheels to move it around :)
