AWDBLAZER'S 1983 Oldsmobile Cutlass Calais Build Thread

[awdblazer]

Looked at a 1983 Oldsmobilie Cutlass Calais last november
got it flat decked home for 100 bucks
Its got the usual rust for g bodies
Needs passenger side rear frame rail, drivers side floor pan, and driver side trunk pan
The guy is throwing in a full front suspension rebuild parts (all moog)
It runs, drives, but needs a battery also

Looking good! From the look on your kids faces, the hard work was well worth it. I load all three in mine for family cruises, and my youngest who is 5, loves the hole shots from light to light

Looks like a nice clean car.
Is the dash green?
What is the interior code on the body tag on the cowl?

 

[awdblazer]

its a blue dash I believe and grey seats
