I had a thread on LS1 tech about my car, but I think I am going to delete it and make one here instead, mostly because I am interested in getting advice on volvo rear suspension, and this group may be more amused (or disappointed) by the project.
A couple years ago I sold my wife's GTO to a guy in AZ. He seemed really happy with the deal I gave him on the GTO, so sort of as a joke I asked him to find me a 100% rust free wagon preferably an 84 or older model. Somewhat to my surprise he found one right away...It was way overpriced, and really not that nice, but I hate rust, so I bought it.
My brother hauled it to his house south of Tuscon I flew out a few weeks later... The tires, belts, and coolant tank, hoses, etc.. were all pretty sketchy.. but I drove it back to Houston without any issues other than the heater not working.
The engine actually ran pretty good across west texas, and made almost 20 mpg on the trip.
