Project-----"Shoestring Suburban"

Well It time to get started on my future cruiser / family hauler. I bought it about 9 months ago just after my twins were born. Extra money is really hard to come by since we are still paying medical bill from the twins so it will be a very low budget build.

I was told it ran and drove good but after going to pick it up 200 miles away the transmission would not even pull itself up my trailer. Its been sitting ever since picking it up.

My plan is to get it running good, replace the transmission, lower it bunch and add big n little rally wheels.

Its been painted once and looks ok. It has minor rust here and there but not too bad. The interior is decent so I won't be doing much with it for now. It is crunched a little on the RH front corner so I will have to do something with that. Today was a small step to move forward. I cleaned out a spot in the garage and moved it inside. Here are a few pics. I will update as progress moves forward.
