81 Century Wagon saved!

bought this off of Craigslist in March, 1100.00...picked it up next to a cemetary with 2 flat tires...she was in sad shape. But, I could see though all the tree mold and grime, what could be, and after a lot of cleaning, a few cosmetic pieces and trim items, it's a nice driver now. 70 10.25:1 350 Buick, 200r4, suspension bushings, sway bars, the usual g-body upgrades made a sweet car for a total of about 4000.00 all in, the last being a Magnaflow mufflers with 2 1/2 pipes...sounds good. A few more odds and ends, but already made it to one car show...lots of compliments. (and again, the only Buick there.)

 

the day
I got the heap home

 

started to clean and polish...

 

ah... brings back fond memories of my GN wagon I built.. Love those wagons! Nice ride!

 

now that is bad ass! I was wondering what the turbo hood would look like with the remainder of the hood trim there. Not bad at all.

 

Ahhh yes, and mine. Houses a 464 Buick now.....

 

very nice...like the wheels to, period correct to that car

 

Thanks! T-type hood also. Getting a coat of synergy green paint soon.(2011 Camaro Green) I was most happy stripping the bumpers and painting them instead.

 

i know Synergy grn, drove one last week. Not sure if I like it on a Camaro, but on the wagon - now that I like. Could e-mail someone my updated photos and try postin em for me. I am not rear computer savvy, i guess theyre too big or something. Car just turned out pretty good for 30 year old paint.

 

Awesome find! Love the wagons! :TU:

 

Of all the full size wagons Buick kicks them all!

Killer rake and the power!!! Buuuuya!

Wow, that shined up nicely. Make sue you buy some paint and protect those rust spots. The metal on these things are pretty thin. Nice buy!

 

And Another

 

Looks cool, wagons rule.

 

thanks man, before I had my last g-body, the 81 Regal in my list at the bottom, I tried to get one of these 4 years ago, another wagon found sitting
under a tree, and the dude would not get off the thing. He ended up passing away, and the car disappeared. What a waste. Ever since, I had that itch...
well I feel better now,

 

nice wagon for sure,the other ones were killer too!!!!
