Default 4 Door and Wagon Love... Post 'em!

love seeing wagons and 4 doors that actually get used for more than just "parts cars" --- (specially if you guys are running LS based engines) post your wagon or 4 door vehicles.

Nice wagons! I never thought I'd see Clark Griswalds family truckster again, and LS powered on top of that, love it.

A bit off topic but what does PSIconversion think about making a harness just like Nashty made for his Volvo? I really like the way he did the wiring for the coils & injectors, looks nice & clean.

I don't know, it came with the car. I thought about putting it out for the masses and see if anyone could tell me what it was. I thought is was F-body, but haven't been able to find one even close....

not only is this my first car ever... its my daily driver, making it a little harder to work on. more of a reason to do everything right in the first go.

luckily i have a little extra time this summer:

going to pick up my LQ4 in the next couple weeks and already picked up a 4L80E last week. just working to piece together everything i need for my swap as we speak.

right now it just has a tbi530/700r4

the first week i got her - about 7 months back.


never was a big fan of the blue wheels/chrome rings that came with the car. redid the wheels in satin black.



after i get the drive train sorted out the cars going to get shaved and go into satin black for the time being

threw this together in photoshop, hopefully i can get the exterior looking like this within the next two years



future exterior: very light tint(non ac car), shaved handles/emblems/side trim, new grille/bumpers/rear panel trim and lights, meaty tires on torque thrust style wheels, black b-pillars, pepper grey metallic paint or something along those lines.

future drivetrain: cam/l92 heads lq4 and 4l80e trans running through a strange s60.
