Bumpers not pictured, they’re in my closet lol. Main focus is weather proofing obviously and then turning into a proper rolling shell. Mostly stripped already.
I prefer driving in downtown Boston during rush-hour
Sacrilege. The only way to describe this build in progress.
I posted here a time back. Got me a sweet little 2002 wagon that got bit by the rust bug. It wound up being too much of a pain (for me personally) so I ended up selling it. Totally salvageable, it just wasn’t something I wanted to deal with. I had recently had to sell a car connected to my late father who passed from cancer, the nail was hit a bit too squarely on the head. Anyhow I had gotten a junkyard shell to swap everything into, but with 65k original miles I couldn’t bring myself to tear it apart. So I sold it. Sad day but it went to a standup fella who I felt good about selling it to.
Only one problem, the shell. Damn thing haunted me. I wanted a project, maybe I still had one. My dad once asked me “don’t take this the wrong way, but why are you always drawn to shitty cars?” The shell has no transmission, no engine and no interior. I bought it that way. About $400. So, I did the only reasonable thing, began prepping the shell for a LSV8 RWD conversion. It had been in a rear end collision, cue a questionable rear end repair ft. a sawed off junkyard rear end.
And so it begins.
