____________________________________________________________________ POSTER: MrSaturn VEHICLE: 1965 Buick Wildcat Deluxe Coupe GOAL: Somewhat of a resto-mod. I bought the car 2 years ago with the intent to rebuild the motor, convert it to 5-speed from auto, and repaint the body. I'm also going to put disc brakes on it eventually, so stopping doesn't kill me. DIFFICULTY: gently caress me running I'll never finish this. COSTS: $5000 to get the california car to me (it was in NY when I found it, I live in CT). so far I've spent probably $5000 more on rebuilding the engine and various parts that were missing. LINK: They've all sunk into the archives, I'll make a new one soon. Pics coming once I dig them up. _____________________________________________________________________ EDIT: Finally some pictures!

POSTER: MrSaturn VEHICLE: 1966 Chevrolet Corvair Corsa GOAL: I need a summer driver that gets better than the 8mpg my 66 DeVille gets. This little jobby should get 15-20. DIFFICULTY: HOpefully only about a month to finish. I've never touched anything aircooled before, so there's a lot of new challenges for me. Also, the old owner basically took all the clutch/throttle/shift linkages off the car, so I have to figure out how to hook all that back up again. COSTS: $1550 for the car, about $400 in parts so far. LINK: http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=2830632
