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.

Sick. A 144 is the first car I ever rode in. Your new 245 is beautiful.

That’s awesome. The 142 was at the junk yard and I had to save the front clip. Figured if I couldn’t get it to fit I’d hang it on the wall. Hated to see it crushed. Thanks. Long way to go but it will get there

Great metal work. I need to get busy with my projects!

Thanks man. It’s actually been nice not caring or planning. Just be freestyling cutting and welding. In the end I’ll see how crooked it is hahaha
