ok. so i got this car out of a salvage yard the other day for $450. it needs alot of work but i dont care. i got hooked on the 80s cutlass body style a year ago when i bought a blue 87 2dr supreme from behind a guy's house. this one is a Brougham edition but im gonna get rid of the plush seats and the padded door skins and make the car into a hot rod.

 

nice dude love G bodys

 

That front clip isn't an '87. Has it been changed?

 

Cool. The grille looks like it's from an '81. Is it a steel hood? These cars are a lot of fun, they look great and they're light.

 

sweeeeeeet

 

g-body the next collecter cars,theres not to many around most cut up and made into stock cars ,good luck with your project and let the fun begin

 

i found the old regesteration today wile cleanin the car out. its a 83 not a 87 like i thought. i got the trunk latch put back on so the trunk will close and i also did away with the smog pump and brackets. im leavin the AC system on for now. atleast till i know if its gonna run or not.

 

i picked up a holley 4bbl today for $20. i wont know what CFM it is untill i clean up the carb and run the numbers online but everything moves smoothly and it will bolt righ to my stock intake without a adaptor. i am gonna put a new o ring kit in it just to be on the safe side.

 

i got my stearing column mounted and everything is hooked up. im gonna hook up a battery tomorrow and see if the motor tunrs over. then im gonna throw some tools in my backpack and make a run to another local scrapyard and see what kinda stuff i can find for my car.

 

havin to wait till tuesday for the right battery. i put in a classic style GT stearing wheel and stabbed the distrubtor. i rolled the motor over with a 1/2" ratchet and it turns smooth. i decided to run my holley 350 2bbl carb. just gotta wait for my adaptor to come in. i also got rid of that damn half vinal top. im gonna sand the roof and put on a coat or 2 of primer. i got it off just in time. it was starting to rust under the vinal top.

 

Good luck with the project

 

Keep the pics coming with your progress.

 

i got my 4bbl to 2bbl carb adaptor in today and got the carb mounted.now ive run into a small setback. well a few of them to be exact.1- there is no vacume port on the carb for my brake booster hose. 2- my throdel mount wont work sence i went with a 2bbl. now i have to make a adaptor for it. 3- there is no spot for my kickdown cabel to mount and 4- i have to install a manual push pull choke cabel for my holley. im gonna try to get a few of these problems fixed over the weekend.

 

I had an 87 about 10 years ago, one of the most comfortable car I ever drove. good luck to ya!

 

yeah thats not an 87 though lol

 

x2

Looks like a good starting point.

 

i didnt get it started this weekend but i did change the oil,put on a new cap and rotor and put in my inner door handles. i droped in my battery and got it to turn over but i have to get the distrubtor in the right spot. its turnin over really slowly. i do know my head and tail lights and my heater does work

 

got a few updates. car runs great. had to change out the ignition module. ive started customizing it now. got rid of the stock split bench front seats and droped in some bucket seats out of a 84 camaro. i also got rid of all of the AC stuff. im going more twords performance then comfort. i got ahold of 2 crager SS mag rims for the back. now i just have to find 2 more fro the front.shes startin to really come together.
