And some pics of my project;







Next thing in " to do list " is interior.. Maybe bucket seats and aluminum plates on doors and so on..

So.. what you think about my station wagon?

 

Sweet! That'll be a quick grocery getter....

 

Neat wagon. And with fuel so cheap in Finland - what is it, about $10 a US Gallon (I am taking a wild guess knowing it is very expensive), you are one committed individual to build an engine I'd love to have here in Canada, where gas is only $5.50 a US Gallon.

Look forward to more pictures. Glad you found the forums.

And as for your English - when talking cars, communicating seems to seldom be a problem

 

Pontiac355. That is one sweet wagon.

 

Hello Finland! Welcome to the madness! Nice Poncho.

 

Not quick enough.

And yes... We have very expensive fuel in Finland.. because of ridiculous fuel taxation.. ( 70% of the price is tax ) :banghead3:
Car taxation is also ****ed.

Wow. Sweet looking ride!

 

Hey i got some update about my project!
-New tail lights and some of the interior's parts are ready.
Pics:



(aluminum plates aren't ready yet)


But I probably need to sell my 65- Volvo Amazon that i have money to buy bucket seats. Luckily it is "rat style" rather than mint condition, so it's not so hard to me tha't i have to sell it.

and sorry my bad english again..

 

Great looking ride. Liked your videos too, damn that's a lot of snow!

 

Very nice wagon, 355! An 80's B body wagon with some snort is top of the line!

 

Thanks!! Nice to hear that you like my wagon.

And yes, I have a new photos!
Doors:

Hood-pins:


And after many months of waiting.... finaly on the road again!


Of course, minor setbacks began to come immediately...
spark plugs started to cause problems and fuel pressures are too high!
It was about 8-9psi when the top limit are 7psi.. On the street 3-4psi are enough..

And i haven't still bought bucket seats even i said i will do it..
But i've been thinking that what it might look like if i get shaker scoop in that car.. Like in trans-am???


Thanks for reading and comments!
Keep the flag high

Over and out!

 

It looks super cool, thanks for updating. I think a shaker could look ok if you don't go over the top, the nice thing about your car is that it is fairly subtle (side pipes aside!). The black finish looks great on that body too.

 

Hi!! I got those bucket seats! I jus't don't have any picture of those (yet).
And guess what!! I was in the U.S. last month! First we were in Manteno, IL and then we flew to NY! Manhattan was awesome at night! But still, I saw only one 80's wagon... And yeah, I allmost forgot! Best shop ever; Western Spirit @ NY

Anyway back to the wagons. My Pontiac was at the show again..


You guys should come to Finland at 18.8-2012 to see Loviisa Burnout Party!! I will go there and perhaps destroy a pair of tires with my STW.
And i promise, there will be video!

Over & out!

 

Couple images more!
Sneaky!!

And yeah.. My gf' was washing it.

And most important thing in summer... Beer.
