1980 Pontiac LeMans Station Wagon - G-T-faux (stuck with it, and can't shake it... like a bad case of herpes)

That looks and sounds really good!

And to think I had only washed it once until yesterday. Twice now, and then it got rained on. Never washing it again...

I am guessing that I am way overdue for this:


Modest sized house, ample garage, derelict cars on jack stands, and a bag of rock salt because it can always snow in Canada.
Cool factor of that wagon on a scale from 1 to 10, I give it a 12! It sounds and looks awesome. I love that it's a Pontiac. Great work!

Started chopping away at the deficiencies list (thankfully it is pretty long). Added a rear hood bumper, nut and bolted the rear suspension and exhaust, added some heat wrap to some wiring, topped up the cooling system. Don't want to finish too much too soon to avoid heading into perpetual boredom (aka the only thing left to do is polish it).

I really need to add that other GTO badge to the tailgate...

Changed the break in oil to Castrol Edge 5W-50. Greased the front end. Moved the IAT to the air box. Added the heater bypass valve. And flashed the new tune.
