Not a Civic Wagon.. A BIG A$$ Chevy Wagon... A.K.A. a Suburban
My First car was actually a 1972 Chevy Suburban 3/4ton 2wd with a MEAN 400 c.i. sb
GOOD TIMES
Before that my family already had a 1978 Chevy Suburban Silverado 3/4ton 2wd w/454 c.i. bb
and Before that we had a 1979 Chevy Suburban Scottsdale 1/2ton 2wd with a Built 400 c.i. sb
I also owned a 1987 Chevy Suburban Silverado 1/2ton 2wd 350 c.i.
So, I have a couple suburbans now!
Screw Gas Mileage!!!
I have Hondas for that
Last year I scraped my families 1978 Suburban, but I did keep the motor & trans.
I was kinda heart broken... Scraping a vehicle that had been in my family since 1990 and for the first time since 1986 not having a suburban in the family at all.. If you knew us growing up.. You knew of our fun suburbans...
DEC. 2011: First one is for the wifey & kids
2003 Chevrolet Suburban Z71 4wd... Was good to be back in a Suburban!
May 2012: I also just picked up a 2000 Chevy Suburban LT 2wd

Nice Truck!!!
Looks nice, now get to clearing out that garage...
I am really happy... Wife is really Happy..
I recycled my old suburban (1978 3/4 ton w/454) and it was a horrible day for me.. Still hurts thinking about it.. & I still regret it..
I also sold my 02 Silverado truck... Bad Move.. Was a great truck..
This made me feel better!!
and just the other day!
Look Suburban #2...
Probably selling this one, unless I decide to use it as my advertising tool for my new business.
things come in pairs around you sir,
maybe your screen name could be changed to noah..
LOL, I guess they sure do..
Done
-Fixed the Broken window reg.
-Fixed Headlight
-Found some fog lights for it. Since its fog lights are broken.
-Picked up a police style push bar.. Blacking it out too.
Still to Do
-Oil Leak
-Brake fluid Leak
-A/c compressor
Only reason I am spending time on it... Is that I am probably reselling for quick money or using it as the Promo vehicle for my new business.
:arrow: wish that it was 5 lug and fit my 96 Odyssey
Look up ProComp wheels or Cragar Soft 8's. They are slightly different from what he has but they offer them in 5x4.5 or 5x5.5, I don't know how the backspacing will be for the Odyssey but the style is there in the right pattern!
thanx dude ..
im clueless on that spacing and offset stuff ... guess i can look on my OdyClub forum
look @ how flat the mini rims are.. i need to push them out for my fender flares ..!!

I am doing something like this to it.
I am debating on the Fender Flares...but it would hide my 2 dings.. So, well see.
-Painted wheels on.. Just waiting for Lug Nuts, so I can through the center caps on.
-Painted the Grill, left the center strip chrome.. how I see all the police suburbans and tahoes
-Install Police style Push Bars, after I painted them from chrome to Black and removed the headlight guard portion of them.
-I am debating paint the chrome part of the front and rear bumpers
-I still have to de-badge it of all the emblems
Here's how it looks so far.. I'm liken it!
Those You Tube Videos that make it looks so easy!!!! ALL B.S.!!! Or at least on a 12 year old vehicle! 3 Hours and HARD work!
I have a little polishing and waxing tomorrow on those areas and it will be GREAT! and, I through up a pics for those of you interested.
Still have to Black out the bumpers.. I was debating it.. And, my wife says I should do it.. And, she hates car talk.. So, I gotta take her advice..
I got it to resell.. But... I am kinda falling for it.. I am probably going to use it for my new business..
I think it will get attention parked on the side of the road with some cool lettering
Might make people slow down in front of my store... LOL
I have a white on too.. It the Child mover! It's a z71, which is kinda whited out(stock)... That is where my first blackout thoughts came from.
Gonna try to paint those bumpers tonight...
I just need those lug nuts. so I can add the center caps!
&
Tint the front windows...
Now just to tint the front windows
if only it were the newest ones, they look so badass...
I have been looking at lots of police SUVs to get ideas..
Actually, I bought it to flip....
Decided to dress it up a little for more $$$...
But, Now I might be keeping it and using it as a DD/Advertising Vehicle for my new company...
I already have an 03 White Z71 Suburban. So, I don't really need another vehicle.. BUT????
I think I'm falling for this one...
Why Not, Right? Company Write-off..
I was thinking something kinda like this when done. For Company Promo. With all the flashing lights for attention in front of the shop. (except, no headlight guards & I painted my bumpers & used authentic wheels)
I will definitely do A light bar if I use it for my company...
Working out a few interior items now..
Monday.. Gets a new compressor & fix for hole in brake line...
Notice buttnugget #1 is all over the balk line. Fine example.
And here buttnugget #1 is blocking the crosswalk. As one company owns the buildings on all four corners of this intersection this is one crosswalk in Atlanta that gets used.
You can also see that instead of establishing what jurisdiction they are owned by the "In God We Trust" cop-out stickers are used.
