My 1999 Buick Park Avenue ultra mega thread. - General

Here's my car, and it's history, because I'm bored. It started in Feb 1997, 17 and needed a new car because car one got totalled. Derp [IMG]http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b340/clutch1234/accident004.jpg[/IMG] So I got this! [IMG]http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b340/clutch1234/parkandsunfire3.jpg[/IMG] Fresh off the dealer's lot I did my stupid crap to it.. lights, tint, and BUICK portholes. Then I came out of school one day in April and found this: [IMG]http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b340/clutch1234/dented1.jpg[/IMG] Oh noes! Insurance bought me a new door that didn't match [IMG]http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b340/clutch1234/DSC00040.jpg[/IMG] So they gave me money to paint it.. But why not just paint the whole car [IMG]http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b340/clutch1234/DSC00264.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b340/clutch1234/DSC00283.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b340/clutch1234/DSC00301.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b340/clutch1234/DSC00304.jpg[/IMG] And I wetsanded and polished for like 2 weeks..

That car looks like sex

Not gonna lie, this pic is amazing: [quote][img]http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b340/clutch1234/xmas5.jpg[/img][/quote]

Not a fan of the lights or ride height. Everything else is nice though.

Gotta say, in my opinion, the car looks ugly as sin, but I do applaud you for working on it yourself and knowing what you're doing. Winner.

Great work on the fibre glass and stuff. but some of those pictures look like screenshots of need for speed with the lights and wheels/ride height

Mad Tyte gangsta bro. It was looking pretty fucking awesome up until you added the rims, then it kept going more and more downhill. And what's worse is that you're not black, you're a skinny white boy. No racism intended, I'm not looking for a ban, i just think it's ugly as fucking hell. But the reason i came in here to post this is because it looks like you did all of the work yourself, and that's no small task. Just looking at the pictures i don't think i could do that, let alone actually being the one diving into it. So nice job there. I guess the biggest thing is that you aren't just good at what you do, but obviously LIKE doing it. A lot. Keep at it, shit like this can make you loads of emone...Just look at pimp my ride :P

There's like 1 black guy in my town, someone's gotta pick up the slack! Only way it's gonna make me money is if I move to the ATL or something.

Not a fan of the lights or the rims but I like the rest

Just one question, why would you put so much money into and older car instead of just buying a newer one?

[QUOTE=Artemis;31064256]Just one question, why would you put so much money into and older car instead of just buying a newer one?[/QUOTE] Just one question, why are you on a car enthusiast forum section when you are apparently not a car enthusiast?

I appreciate that you're able to do this, but none of this makes me like it. I don't like the rims, the blue front lights, the neon under tint (lol NFS:Underground). You're very handy at making things with fiberglass which is great; however, the door handle delete interested me the most. How do you get in now?

I don't like the interior,but i find the underglow nice

Not my style, but seeing what it came from I have to say you did a great job.

[QUOTE=Ldesu;31064757]Dumbass spotted[/QUOTE] Nice unprecedented attack, greasemonkey. I asked a legitimate question and got called a dumbass.

looks sik bro [img]http://www.breakpointservers.com/Smileys/sa/buddy.gif[/img]

Not a big fan of the car itself, I love the colors though. For you doing this yourself though, you did an amazing job from what I can see. Good luck on it in the future!

See, what you have done there aside from the paint job is a crime against cars. Shame on you. Shame.

so you were the one that stole my grandmothers car. and painting it so noone would recognize. your one sly bastard.

The Park Avenue is pretty good looking car to begin with. With the right work you can make it look proper high-end luxury car rather than Dr. Suess's retarded brainchild.

In other words: We think you got great skills and are very good at what you do. We just don't like what you make out of it :v:

Have to admit, you do awesome work. Now do it in a way that pleases us. ALL OF US.

[QUOTE=ThatHippyMan;31071329]Have to admit, you do awesome work. Now do it in a way that pleases us. ALL OF US.[/QUOTE] As in ratting a beetle? :v:

I honestly think you should've stopped at the first paintjob, because that looked really nice. But each to his own, I guess. And those groundeffects.

The first picture with the underglow was awful, but it actually started to look pretty cool if you look at it like it's a show car in the later pictures.

I agree, you do very good work at all of it. I just don't like the car.
