The good:
Straight body, zero rust even on bottom. That alone is worth the $900 I paid. Starts and runs and drives. 50k and feels like it, engine feels super tight still.

The bad:
Tires are shot. Brakes are soft. Hard to get...

When I'm not on here wreaking havoc, I am hard at work torturing my poor, happless Estate Wagon to make it fit my vision of how these GM wagons should have been built.

I have always loved the GM clamshell wagons, with their amazingly beautiful fastback glass roof. But I never could warm up to the clunky pillared roof and doors. It should have been a four-door hardtop. Some bean counter probably...

as most of you might have experienced 50 year old wagons need some work done to them, my current project as above, has had to be refurbished with new drivetrain ( ongoing ) the original 1972 350 2bbl was swapped at some point and replaced with a 1994 350 4bbl from a truck centre bolt valve covers.. mexican production. This one has now been redone and stroked out to 383, a stage 2 cam and new lifters for good measure. heads are rubbish but flow for low end torque. new...

The wagon has been on the back burner for a minute now. It was already on the bottom of the priority list and once I found basically the entire floor was rusted away I had to weigh the option of keeping it vs flipping it and trying to score something less needy. I decided to keep it, so here we are.

I posted info when I first got it but since it’s been so long I’ll breeze over the specs. 1965 Falcon Futura 4dr...

It spins freely with the starter, but no spark and won't fire on steering fluid. I will update soon.

Also, if anyone has suggestions about bringing new life to this vinyl interior, please share. I've already popped a seam and really would like to not do that again.]]> 178 Fri, 05 Apr 2024 22:08:37 +0000 http://www.stationwagonforums.com/forums/threads/1985-buick-electra-phase-2-upgrades.54270/ http://www.stationwagonforums.com/forums/threads/1985-buick-electra-phase-2-upgrades.54270/ invalid@example.com (Darcane) Darcane
A while back, I bought a 1985 Buick Electra. Drove it some, fixed it some, details here:

Now it's time to start upgrading it.

Plan is to "LS" swap it, much like Vetteman's project:...

It may get some upgrades along the way but first things first is just running and driving safely. I am trying hard not to let it creep out of control but I am taking the time to at least clean and spiff up anything that I am already touching. To that end, here is my progress.]]> 32 Wed, 25 Oct 2023 12:05:21 +0000 http://www.stationwagonforums.com/forums/threads/65-bonneville-safari-tailgate-glass.60365/ http://www.stationwagonforums.com/forums/threads/65-bonneville-safari-tailgate-glass.60365/ invalid@example.com (Bonnevillesafari65) Bonnevillesafari65 Mon, 10 Jul 2023 15:15:32 +0000 http://www.stationwagonforums.com/forums/threads/2010-custom-longroof.43918/ http://www.stationwagonforums.com/forums/threads/2010-custom-longroof.43918/ invalid@example.com (RMay) RMay
Last year I had this design idea for a 2010 Camaro Station Wagon. Like my other builds I bought a couple models and started coming up with a design. I found a good deal on a low mileage 2010 Camaro that had left rear quarter damage which I have since repaired. After looking at and...

Got too many projects already but couldn't resist this one. I've seen the articles/video about the NM found/restored 58 and that's what led me here. This one's been parked like you see it since the late 70's but seems to be in pretty good condition.
