Default just another project i have waiting

Well i no its not a camaro but I thought it is still a cool project and wanted to share

I picked this Olds up off my buddy a month or so ago. He picked it up last summer to try something new as he is a IMPORT guy Well i guess he rather stick to his imports so i got the car off him for $500 less the motor witch it not a big deal as i can pick up another 350 for it. It has all new brakes backing plates ball joints and 373 gears also new A frames The frame rails are in good shape and only a small hole in the left rail. The vinyl roof moldings were ripped off and it needs replacing the inside is a butcher job dash is cracked and some parts missing as the old owner put aftermarket gages in and hacked the hell out of the dash. it also had ENZO racing seats in it i told my buddy to take them as they were pretty rough. So i got a set of seats out of another cutlass to replace them. This Olds is a 1987 with the Hurst Olds hood the body is in good shape and should be a fun build.

The truck in the pic was also mine i sold it feb of this year it was a 97 Chevy Thunder never seen snow wish it would of been ext cab and i would of kept it

but on with the pics

Wow. I would have paid 5 bills just for those doors. One of my other favs is g bodies 78-87 exept the Pontiacs. T Grand Prix was just ugly. A good freind of mine has an 87 Buick Grand National. It dips into the 11's and still gets 28 MPG on the highway.

I agree the grand prix was not one of my favs always likes the Olds and the grand nationals I have a few plans for this one i forgot to mention the only bad spot on the body is the rockers are gone still worth the 5 bill i paid i think

First thing i want to do to this one is the inside as the motor is not a rush and suspension and everything else is either new or still good.

I will post better pics as soon as i take some lol

Anyone know if the Grand Nationals dash and seat fit into the cutlass with out major mod
