    My 1995 Buick Century Limited "Leona"

    Haven't made a thread of my daily beater, it's a 1995 Buick Century Limited. I got the vehicle from a teacher i went to HS with for $450 back in August 2015, previously owned by an old lady name Leona who passed away, hence why i named the car after the old lady. First GM vehicle i bought and it isnt a bad little car too except the rust and rot this car has, its loaded with leather interior in great shape, Keyless entry, Premium Sound. Had a 102,483 miles when i got it, currently has 109,000 on it, it has a rebuilt jasper transmission runs great. I currently just replaced the cracked header panel from when the old lady backed into a car and the fenders. Hard finding fenders that werent rusted to fuck on these cars. i ended up snagging a nice 92 Gold passenger fender from a u pull it yard which was gold though a different shade of gold as my color started in 94 and is called Light Driftwood Metallic but close enough im not repainting it, i also pulled a good header panel from the same 92 had a little piece broken off in the corner though i took it anyway as it was better than my half broken header panel, the driver side fender on that 92 was fucked so i hunted down for another gold fender, nothing that wasnt fucked with rust or rot, but i found a mint shape Red fender from another yard that was already pulled off, guy gave it to me for $25 i said i will take it. i will have it repainted to my color this friday. Heres pics from when i got it and the new fenders and header panel i installed today. Next i plan to have ivan take a look at the rear quarter panels and the driver side rocker panel to see if he can cut out the rot and weld in pieces from a good donor car. i prefer it to be done the correct way and not bondo the holes in the bottom of the rear quarter panels.

        I've had a couple different iterations of this car, not bad daily driver material. My 91 was a Ciera, only 90,000 miles, but ran awful and looked worse (the interior was nice though.) My 94 was a Century, and I bought it for $350, drove it for five months, and f\sold it for $325 to a junkyard. It had 325,000 or so on it, ran good but puked oil very badly. Always started right up though, and if it wasn't falling apart in every possible place, I would have kept it.

          Cut the piece out of the old header panel that is missing on the new one. You can epoxy that in place after making the two pieces match up in size. May be a cheap way to get the header panel looking better for practically nothing if the missing piece bothers you.
