Newbie saying hi

[ericcvg95]

Hello everyone, just wanted to write a quick note and introduce myself on the boards since I am new. My name is Eric, I'm 34, and I have been a G-Body enthusiast since I was a teenager. My first car was a 1980 Olds Cutlass Cruiser, originally a V6 car, that became a project for me and my dad which we put a 400 small block Chevy into, as well as various other things which turned it into a nice cruiser. Unfortunately, I sold it in 1999 after I bought my first new vehicle, and have regretted it ever since. I am hoping to eventually buy another G-Body wagon, and I figured joining this forum would be a good way to get information, talk to others who are familiar with G-Bodies, and maybe, when the time is right, meet someone selling a G-Body wagon, as I notice they are getting harder and harder to find.

Eric

Starts & runs good!

What needs fixing: Speedometer does not work (shows 129,000)-I use my Garmin GPS for a speedometer.) Bad paint. Dash cracked & broken. Headliner sagging. Needs new door seals - they are cracked & brittle. Windshield cracked - all other glass good. Rear window does not lock - squeaks without duct tape. Shocks will not hold up rear glass. A few chrome moldings are off the car, but I have them. Roof rack needs roof bolts & installed. Could use a new set of shock absorbers.
