Default Oldsmobile "Battle Cruiser"

I have bought a 1991 Oldsmobile Custom Cruiser for a daily driver and later I'll throw some BMR sway bars, Koni adjustable shocks, Belltech 1.5 lowering springs, Impala SS wheels, and Nitto NT555 255/50-17 tires to make a great GT car and have some fun with it while driving it to work and maybe throw some engine upgrades on the stock 305ci and make a few more hp but not ruin the 22mpg it getseems right now.

For some sick reason I used to want one of those wagons. The same sick reason had me wanting to convert it to a two door...

Well I do get flack for a single man buying a station wagon but it is one aerodynamic wagon with a supposed .31 coefficient. Plus it was $1900 and it has everything and gets 22mpg so this will be a cheap fun project car.

I'm also single man with no kids.

I personally don't like four door vehicles, I enjoy the occasional challenge and I like different - thus my desire to convert it to two door. Good thing I have too many other projects or I would be on the hunt again. Haha

Yes. This is a sweet platform for a build, and were eager to see what comes of it!
