Hmm we already have this thread: http://forum.melee.org/general-off-topic/petrolheads-unite!-the-car-and-motorbike-thread!/

I'm thinking I should maybe merge this thread into it. Objections?

Sorry about that, I didn't see that thread!

my buddy had an 80's something Lincoln towncar, looked similar to the prix, big tank of a car but it hauled ass, I think it had a v8

that's cool. mines a Gbody, I think there are like.. 4-5 cars that all look the same lol. monte carlo, cutlass, regal, etc.


i've always wanted a old Lincoln or a ford LTD. i think they're awesome cruisers

was that transmission you pulled out in the grand prix automatic?

Yeah, that's a turbo 350 i had rebuilt as it turns out it was about 5 miles from blowing up anyway.

that car runs and drives now, I daily it during the summer, but it still needs work. I built it more as a sleeper than a nice car. I might fix the rust on it, but it'll probably never get a decent paint job haha

quick vid of it at idle during thanks giving

yea 6 speed with a T top. I was looking at an 87 iroc which I really wanted but the body was just too rusted out  It's hard finding a  3rd gen camaro or trans am that isn't totally wrecked around here from the winters.

Yea I have an old bike that's been sitting for 20 years that I was gunna try to rebuild before working on a car engine, I don't have a lift either atm but a buddy does.

and a 6 speed??? that's pretty awesome for 3g's, I'm up in michigan and rust is a big issue. usually only find the v6 camaros


Yeah i didn't have a lift either, I rented one from U-Rent it for like 50 bucks i think, but I really should invest in one.

only thing i can say about rebuilding car engines is if you get an older one, the rebuild kits are dirt cheap, I think you can get a whole kit for a gen1 sbc for around 250 bucks, minus machine work of course.

Awesome job on the Matador. Where do you find the kits for older cars engines?

Thanks, it took a lot of time.

the 350 small block in my Grand prix is a 74 year, which you can find tons of rebuild kits and dress-up kits on summitracing or jegs.

I had a shop build mine because i didn't want it to be stock, and i didn't trust myself to not screw up a lot of money worth of go-fast parts Haha.

also, do i see an Lt1 in that camaro?

Sorry for all the photos, I resized them the best i could so they wouldn't be too difficult to see. and i don't know if anyone has any interest in any of this. but i figured i'd throw up a thread anyway!



Also, I rebuilt the engine in my grand prix because it had a pretty bad knock when i bought it.

I just wanted to make a thread for anybody that wants to show off their rides, or talk about car-related things or discuss what their working on!

I know there are a few people who have some pretty cool cars, even if you don't think yours is cool. post away! there is beauty in all vehicles!!!


except the PT Cruiser.


Just kidding, i love the PT Cruiser.


these are my current projects

I have a 1973 AMC Matador that my family restored over the course of a couple years, and my 1984 Pontiac Grand Prix that i'm still working on, and my brother has a 1972? Baja Beetle with a turbo subaru engine swap.

So apparently nothing wants to show my GPU. Tried device manager, Radeon app settings, CPU-Z, and all of them just say R9 200 Series. Everest doesn't even detect it. Nor will it detect my mobo, so gf gg.

8GB OF RAM THOUGH.

go to search and type dxdiag, go 1 tab over, to display, and see what it says.
