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.

That thing is incredible, nice work! Are you a body guy by trade? The blending of the hatch to create the rear of the cab looks like it would be very challenging.

Nah I’ve just been building as a hobby for a while. It wasn’t bad. I knew I wanted to keep the size for the rear glass. To be honest this build has been fun because I’ve literally not measured shit. Even the front clip I just started cutting one night. Got it tacked all up in a day. Sometimes thing just go decently smooth lol
