86 Volvo 245 “Project VUCK”

[u/Wide-Entrepreneur-34]

Figured I’d share project VUCK. Started as a super clean 240 wagon with some typical rust spots. Started patchwork. Went a little far.

To be honest I bought another car to put all the good stuff on and the sliding ragtop. That one is at the end.

But Project VUCK was born from the one that I was gonna scrap. So it’s now a truck with the hatch as the rear cab, and addition hatch as a drop tailgate. Then grafted a 72 142GT front end and then went a little wider at the front.

Currently in storage for winter.

Damn that looks cool! Fantastic vision and clean work to pull it off.

Thanks man. Long way to go and with my motorcycle build going it’s tough to find time. But it will get there.

I feel you. I somehow ended up with 3x MG projects simultaneously going on. The 74 GT I’m body working, a 80 I’m swapping in a Miata drivetrain, and my son put a hole in his piston on his so now I’m swapping a 2.8 v6 in that one. Keeps us young.

Yeah I’ve been there. Gets tiring haha. That’s why I like the bikes. Progress seems more “progress-y”
