Thanks guys!
I started on some part polishing today.
I've got a LONG way to go but it's a start.

Now done! All I need to do now is clear coat it.
Label is still present in the last one.
I have no idea why my camera makes everything look so orange.

Nice TB, Dan! I wish my LeSabre looked like that. As some of you, such as Dan and Don, know, it'll be an effort to keep it from rusting away...

Thanks guys!
Install pics. My camera has the unique quality of being able to focus on everything and nothing all at once, and being able to put more light where there is already too much and take it away from places that need more. Thus, these pictures don't really show the throttle body that well. But it is nice and shiny. I clear coated it yesterday.
All total about 24 hours spent removing, disassembling, polishing, clear coating, reassembling, and reinstalling the throttle body.

Your '97 Le Sabre is in nice shape. I especially like the motor compartment. My son bought a rusted out 93 Le Sabre a year ago. For a cheap work car, it was remarkably well running. A month ago, my son decided to pull in front of someone who was driving a Jeep Wrangler. The Buick lost in the endeavour. But the happy part for me came when I discovered that many of the parts from the 93 Le Sabre are compatible with my 95 Bonneville.
If you need parts, let me know.
