When did he get the Buick? Very reliable cars.
He got it last fall for when he was driving 50 miles a day for school and didn’t like the fuel bill with his F350. It’s been a good car, except when we had to replace the transmission over Memorial Day weekend.

He still has the F350, but usually drives the Buick.

Fortunately, I was able to use a 4-1/2” angle grinder and cut-off wheel. Couldn’t imagine trying it with a dremel.View attachment 413379
I went at it with the dremel because there was no room to not hit the steering box with a grinder blade. The dremel blade actually cut really good and quick, I just couldn’t get the right spot. I think I put like 5 slices in it before it finally budged.

Well….we will be getting a family project car.

My wife’s brother has had a 1979 MGB for about 12 years rhat he was planning on working on but never did. He is selling it to us for $750. I just have to get up to Wales, WI to get it.

The plan is to have something all of us can work on together.

Should be a fun project for your group! Wondering if the hardware is metric or SAE.
