custom cars/trucks

I technically still own this:



but I haven't driven it in years. It's a 1970 Volvo 1800 with a 3.8l Buick V6 (I guess I'm sort of from a Buick family) and a GM automatic transmission. When it was running well, it would surprise the hell out of people. Volvo 1800's aren't particularly fast stock, in fact they're pretty damn slow. I haven't live anywhere where it would make since to have a matainance intesive car that I'm in love with for the past five years or so. So my poor volvo has been sitting under a cover in my dad's driveway.

My brother's Dodge challenger is sitting in the same driveway... Oddly enough, my dad's T-type (mentioned above) is sitting behind my grandfathers house. He can't get it smogged anymore.

As soon as I finish my Chevelle...my next project is a Hearse

I have a 1969 Buick Lowrider. There was a picture of it up a while ago. Someone hosted it for me. I can put it back up if someone else wants to host again.

Cash,

dude, i want a hearse sooo bad... fuckin' money..

this is my baby...

imports a plenty

i need a classic. soooooooo bad . . . gotta find a mechanic to marry.

I'd love an old Cadillac convertable. You know a real pimp mobile.

I've always wanted to restore a Mint Green Morris Minor 1000 and stick a Volkswagen common rail diesel motor in it and disc brakes (and do a lot of other things none of which would change the appearance of the car). But i guess that doesn't count as a custom car around here.

i bounce my truck for fun.

anything with an adjustable suspension rox.

My old baby (alfa romeo 147):



Tried to make it look sporty and nice, but kept things reasonably subtle, I didn't want to make it looks like a rice-mobile, so I shot for the slightly more classy look.

- Full body kit
- 17" Alloys
- Lowered suspension
- Momo wheel and stick
- Kenwood 10 disk CD changer
- Full sony speaker sound system
- Xenon headlights
- Full leather interior
- Engine etc.: New induction kit, Dump Valves, New disk breaks &pads, Twin exhaust

Driving a VW Polo 1.4TDi instead now, couldn't afford the insurance on that one, so I had to let it go

This old Porsche of mine is semi-custom. Converted to late style mirrors and wheels. Not much to the engine though, just a K&N filter and a few ignition goodies.


This old bastard is modified to the gills, inside only. It runs a 2110cc flat four with dual two-barrel 40IDF Weber carbs, fed to the wheels by a race-built 4 speed. It's by far the faster of the two.
