New Kid with an '83 'Bu.

That's a random song by my favorite band. It's irrelevant, but I want to post it.

Anyway, hello! My name is Eric, I'm located around Trenton, NJ, although I spend most of my time around Bordentown. I'm 17, driving around in my first car, a light blue 1983 Chevrolet Malibu wagon that I fell in love with the moment I saw it. It's only got the little 3.8 but that's plenty for me. I plan to one day do a front end swap and change it to a Buick GNX front end, beef up the engine transmission and rear end to GNX specs, minor rear fender flares with wider tires, and move the rear license plate to the bumper then fill in the tailgate hole, and paint it all black.

As for me, my hobbies include cycling and playing my 12 string guitar and acoustic bass. I play more bluesy style hard rock. I love the band Europe, they're my inspiration.

 

Hey another wagon prince! That's gotta be 7 or 8 teens now. Welcome to our band. We play wrenching music a lot, with a few pic clicks for percussion. Glad you came aboard.

 

Welcome an nice wagon.

You Sexy old man where's those pictures?

 

Eric. It's good to see another young man in to wagons. The hobby is safe.

 

Cool, another bass player!

 

Nah, I'm just the Roadie, gopher...

 

Norm and I spend more time "tuning" than playing!

 

Man, we need a fleet barn! So many Foxes to save and tune!

I saw two Fox LTD wagons at the grocery store yesterday, and no camera.

 

Welcome to the forums, LastLook. Your Bu looks to be in fine shape and the plans you have for it are pretty cool. A GNX wagon; I'm lovin' it.
Thanks for the turn on to Europe. I can see why you like them so much.

 

to the wagon train, LLE. THAT is a nice looking Bu!

 

to the forum

 

Thanks all for the warm welcome!

Yush, best instrument ever.

I see the double meaning in this but I'm keeping the music theme going, cause I can never keep my instruments in tune.

It's in pretty good shape. A little rust. Couple window leaks. But that's it. The GNX idea was based off of the Grand National wagon in the photo gallery. My idea is the same thing except tinted windows, front fender vents, rear fender flares, and a little lower then stock.

Oh, and if you like that Europe, stay far away from their old stuff.

 

, nice clean looking wagon. I had a Malibu wagon years ago, same blue as yours but single headlamp (can't remember the year...duh) but mine did'nt look that good.

 

nice to see another person here who is younger then there wagon
