New cutlass owner
New cutlass owner
Well I found a 80 4 door cutlass LS, needs some work in and out but it runs/drives. It has a 4.3 v8 (260 correct?) the body has some surface rust but has not gone thru from what i can see. It there anything i can buy to rid the car of this cancer? I plan on getting it painted but can afford it right now. I need to replace the interior first, so on that note anyone here live near dfw and know a good yard to visit? Ill add pics later, also whats the LS for in the model of cutlass?
Here is what i got from my vin using a googled vin decoder

Congrats to your new project!
I think someone on this list (or the google one) had an 83 4dr being parted out with a good interior. Not sure if those two years are compatible. I live in DFW and yards with old cars are hard to find. I never have good luck...
As for the rust, the best thing now is to keep it dry. Sanding out the rust and spraying it with a primer or something ~may~ help, but I am no expert in that field. I am sure someone out here has better advice.
