Anyone out there? Okay I am in dire need of help here...I am trying to restore my Buick in time for an August show...I have not been able to find:
1. Front and Rear bumper fillers, not the rubbers, but the fibers...and...I get the turbo system pretty well, but I am still in need of a manual and knowledge if she's got an intercooler or not...I thought all turboed cars had intercoolers, and yes I am a Lady who works on her own vehicles...

Fillers: (from Year One - there are other sources)

These are likely hard fiberglass vs. the stock flexible material.

The early carbed turbo Regals do not have intercoolers. Turbo cars do not always have them.

I highly suggest you try to locate the factroy service manual for your car. Try http://www.helminc.com/helm/product2.asp?class%5F2=BUI&mk=Buick&yr=1978&md=Regal&dt=&module=&from=result&Style=&Sku=78BUICKSM&itemtype=N&mscsid=01RNKPQ0EA5K8JMLQE2DWJ86CJUBAAJ6 Helm Inc. sells the factory manuals for all GM cars. Perhaps the best $75 you can spend on your car.
