Face Lift for our Crewzer

Ouch! You could make a C-250 pickup out of the rest!

 

This one got me all excited as I love big fender flares. But all I see there is generic universal stuff rather than specific model stuff atleast for Olds. Which is a GREAT thing. Why? Because my doesn't need to be any wider. AND because it would cost me a fortune to fill the wheel wells then.

 

Yeah that's like putting dentures on an aligator.

 

Got the organ doner to the barn

So for $100 it is'nt that bad, 3 rings and caps are 7+ out of 10 condition, even the spare is a ralley rim, and the grill inserts (the black ones on hood) are mint. The instument cluster has a tack and real gauges so I'll be restoring that. The reat of the car is trashed, the only thing salvagable in the interiour is the centre console and shifter.

In the second pic you can see the damage to the front corner, it is repairable. Next time I'm up island I'll get the stainless trim for the lower fenders and the front bumper I can get from the wreaker 5 min away from me.

 

Organ donor! That's a good line. Got some nice goodies on that one. Keep the windshield too. Takes MONTHS to get replacement glass.

Other than the colour, it looks like an R&R task. Good stuff.

 

I located a good front bumper and as an extra bonus.....A FACTORY POWER SUN ROOF!! Of course I could'nt find one when I had the interiour apart redoing the headliner so now it will come out again. The roof works ( it's glass) but needs a new seal. Ironicly it's out of a early 80's Cutlass Calais and has all the headliner intact. I'm having the whole roof choped off at the pillars and will pick it up this week end, C/W pics.

I'll get to this install soon, a couple/three weeks from now once I've cout up on some other projects and just keep posting in this thread rather than starting a new for every thing.

....Na, I'm to old for that, this is more my speedc/w a cane

 

$100.00 CDN still gets you alot this day and age!

Great stuff TeDy!

 

LMAO

 

That is one sharp wagon you have, I love your shade of blue. I'm hunting for the woody trim that your wagon has...your wood wraps aound the rear quarter and meets up with the tail gate, It's a must have.

 

Wow now that I want to see. Always wanted a sunroof in my wagon. But it has that stepped roof so don't think it would work. I know how hard something like that can be everytime I look at the inside roof of the wife's choptop. You are a braver man than I.

 

wow...you are toolin' right along an that project, Fat...way to go!

 

I'll be doing a step by step tutorail with lots of pics ( just like your build)

 

Yeah, I'm sure I have mentioned it before but what I'm after is a finnished product that looks like it should/could have come from the factory that way.....with the excepton of the Crystler bucket seatsbut they look like they belong. The sun roof is a ASAP as I'm doing this out side and summer will be gone before I know it.

I have to take some new pics of the seats with the console in place ( in the day time). I guess being dark and the flash made the colour look off, it really is a 99% match
