    1981 Cutlass Supreme project in Norway

    Hey ppl. I got some heartbreaking news the other day. You guys probably remember this restoration object. I heard from a friend that someone saw my project in the scrapper.. I called today, and they said it is now crushed into a cube of metal :evil: I worked hard for a whole year with this...

    Greetings from Spain

    Buenas dias! Maybe noches, for the timezone over there in the US. I think some of you remember I had a Cutlass Supreme project in Norway. I have now moved to Spain, and Im starting to look for another car to buy. What I have realized is that american classic is not easy to find here. The few who...

    In the search for a Monte Carlo buy

    Looks very good that one. But its an 85' and that would make me have to wait untill next year to register it. Because we have a veteran-car (30 years and older) rule in Norway. All cars thats newer than 30 years is wicked expensive to tax in.. But thanks for looking. Would be a great driver that one

    1981 Cutlass Supreme project in Norway

    I think this was so severe rusted out because it has been driven in Norwegian salty winter roads. But there a many g's with rust in the U.S. Even in the frame. Your car is a lucky buy I think

    1981 Cutlass Supreme project in Norway

    Hi people. Sadly, I have to tell you that the project went away today. I sold it for about 2500 $ It was time to think about other things now, my economy and situation made it too hard to finish it. But at least the new owner is a g body enthusiast and it will be finished this year he said. I...

    1981 Cutlass Supreme project in Norway

    Thanks for checking out the thread guys :mrgreen: Well, it has no plugs right now. I've just rolled bits of paper towls into a ball and stuffed every opening of the engine.. Not that this is 100% air-tight but I think it helps. It has no exhaust headers either. I will think about spraying some...

    1981 Cutlass Supreme project in Norway

    Hey everybody (that love the g-body ;p) It has been a while since I've even touched my project. Well I decided to go for a trip to Spain, and hurried up to pack the car together so it could be moved. Spent 3 days alone in the workshop (and a lot of beer), to get it from bare frame to rolling on...

    Making a custom instrument cluster

    Very nice job on these! I actually like the "nascar look" on the last one, but I don't want to eliminate any air ducts. So I want the first one. Maybe I only will add the turnsignals, highbeam and ebrake. So 2 1/16" is the size I need for water/oil/fuel/volt then. What about the speedo and tach...

    Making a custom instrument cluster

    I want to swap out my original instruments with all Auto Meter ultra-lite electric gauges. I've seen pictures of home made clusters to fit these, but does anyone have a template with measures etc? Also there's a complete cluster on gbodyparts but it has not yet been launched for sale. Anyway...

    custom grilles for Cutlass 81-

    I'd say, here in Norway that price isn't too much. But a whole Cutlass for that price is probably a total wreck or an entire frame off job with severe rust.. Like mine was. Everything is more expensive over here..

    How I got the G-body fever

    Well, first of all I want to say this is a great forum. I'm here daily to read tips'n'tricks, other's projects and offcourse to help out others when I can. And it feels cool to be stationed in Norway and have such good contact with the U.S. G-owners at the same time. I wonder if there are more...
