    So for some reason I fell in love with this UGLY old machine. I am going to do a few hotrod upgrades and then rock it for a while and prob flip or trade it for something else.

    The idea is to have something fun and unique to cruise in that is a bit better on gas than my truck was. I think I made a good choice here as itll fit the car seats well, itll make one hell of a beach cruiser this summer, and well its just so ugly i love it lol

    What do ya think? I pick her up on Saturday the 9th if all plans go well

    Itll get tint and vintage air fairly fast...the wheels will be after that and then MAYBE a motor swap if I keep it long term. If nothing itll be a fun impulse buy....

    I know there is some concern with the bubbles so im gonna get a look at her before I pay. If its all bondo rot then ill pass on her. :banghead3::cry:

    itll have wheels n tires within a week of getting here. actually need to see what my options are because it cant have stock spindles with those wheels unless theres spacers n whatnot on it.

    Ugly? Na... Unique is more like it. I notice that so many people look at my wagon because they just have never see one. Good luck with whatever your plans are.

    :Welcome:to the forum. Ugly is relative? Obviously you've seen my relatives!:rofl: Only thing ugly about that wagon are those wheels, relatively speaking.
