Dang craigslist anyway.....bought a wagon this weekend.

83 Bonneville, loaded, and it all works.
Used to be a woodie, but they stripped the DiNoc and painted the infield gold

Pics maybe this weekend..gets dark early these days

Welcome back Brian!

Glad to hear that you're still with us. Please post pics of your new wagon when you get a chance. Otherwise I hope things are going well with you.
Sounds like a nice wagon. You can always redo the faux wood instead of the gold repaint.

What are your plans with this one?

Sounds like a perfect daily driver build to follow the purchase of a nice longroof!

Hey! Another 83' Bonnewagon? Who would have guessed! I changed my nose to an 81' LeMans so we are still different. :lol:

Pics if I can find some time during daylight hours

Hey Jack, still driving yours?

Plans....? I am going to try using a Malibu frt bumper with the Pontiac header panel...I don't really care for the urethane front/chrome rear setup, nor do I think the painted rear bumper/roll pan is for me. Barring that, it'll probably lose it's Pontiac identity.

Long term...shave the rack, ditch the wing, tint, 17s, and fresh paint....haven't decided if it'll go back to wood or do woody-delete. Lot of stuff in front of it right now....we're not what you'd call car-poor around here. Guess it's time to do some culling.

Hi Brian,
Yes, I'm still driving mine. Although not as much as I used to. As far as changing the front somewhat. Why not go with a Lemans header panel..or even a Grand Am, if you can find one, of course. I guess putting a Chevy header panel on it would require changing the entire nose, fenders, hood, and all.
Do you still have much in the way of parts?
Your wagon looks pretty good, by the way.
