I bout a 82 Buick Estate, and almost got arrested

I absolutely hate Venturas and their ilk because the hood latch hangs down like a plot device for a gore fest movie, and I hit my head on the GD thing.

 

My Lord, that's a nice looking flat bed Ford. Looks like someone recently fixed it up and painted it. Tedy you need more room.

 

It's home in the barn!

On the way there I passed this Chev panel. I met the guy at our last local car show, real nice guy and he has owned it for over 30 years. Sorry about the blury pics but I was running late and it's hard to drive 100MPH, smoke, drink coffee and take pics all at the same time (But I wasn't texting)






It was tight getting it out, back and forth with me steering the wagon and then we kinda panted ourselves into a corner and were stuck and just about broke a tail light. Drivers door a 1/2 inch from the corner of the house, other side front bumper ready to rip the patio post out:banghead3:



After some DUH, WTF, how we gona get out of this? The front bumper molding on the front passenger side had to suffer, it was either that or the tail light..... but the bumper molding is only popped out, not broken. It sook servelal inch by inch back and forth. Never noticed before but it's missing the trim for the wood.

But if finally got out!



In all the commotion I forgot to take more pics under the car, but all around it looks like this......

 

"Parts-2", more pics...............







I had my rally wheels listed for sale, but after seeing them on this Buick and how they fill the wheel well I'm going to keep them.



And I forgot the keys for the Crewzer so it's in the barn, but there is no way I would be able to get in and or more pics of the interior until I go back and flash up the other wagon and move it out...... And I'm Not going to do that today.

 

Great! Love it!
That copper color (at least it looks copper...) looks fantastic on the box wagon. Little bit 'O L-bow grease should work wonders....

 

I know....it'a parts wagon. But it sure is one decent looking station wagon to clean up, repair, get road worthy, and drive.
You need another wagon driver Tedy.

 

Get Mike up there to detail it, and you'll be driving it daily!

 

Old thread but I never did show the interior and snagged some pics today when I de-barned my 83 for a month of driving....

One day, these seats will find there way into my 87................


No smell, no Mold, just a bit dusty.....basically how it was parked in 2000.





But some damage did happen witch makes the interior swap a ? as the colour of my 87 is darker than the 82. All 4 of the door panel tops have gone to crap. Maybe (???) sand and paint the top, leave the sides that still look great and clear over all of it may (???????) work................
