Default I found some pictures of an old project of mine

I believe this was a 1984 Caprice classic Wagon, A.K.A. "Fugly".
I was given the car for free and I had lots of free time this summer. I guess I have always had a thing for ugly boxy looking cars...lol


This is they day i brought her home. haha


I made a huge mess in front of my grandpas shop. I didnt really know what the heck I was doing back then. I still dont.


This is later on into the "project". Its a chevy 350ci 4bolt main. I forgot all the specs for everything.



Just some more pictures of the motor. I didnt really do anything to the body.



I sold the car a while back and the engine came out and when into a buddies turd gen camaro. It was fun. It was great to see the look on peoples faces when i pulled up next to them at a stop light. Big cam idling like a champ and i had headers into 18inch bullets dumped.


I have some more pictures somewhere. If anyones interested ill post pictures as i find them. Just thought I would post this for your viewing pleasure.

I had a turd gen too.. It had a 305... I thought it was fast at the time. I was WRONG.

Yeah I talked to him two days ago. I told him people were looking for him. He said he would get back to everyone asap. He just seemed very busy.

My parents had two wagons like that, one before I was born and we sold one when I was a couple years old.
