wpgrango's 1982 Dodge Rampage Resto

[wpgrango]

Hi All.
I bought this 1982 Dodge Rampage Sport, in mid-spring of 2012 from a fellow that posted it on Kijiji Winnipeg.




The Story:
This car orignally came from Calgary, the lady who had it, drove it until she needed a rebuild. She had got herself a 1983 Plymouth Scamp (no pix) for parts. From what I understand, her brother and herself did the dismantling. Then Proceded to start the re-construction on this lil truck.
During this she got sick and eventually passed. I do not know the whole story there, but what I do know is I have a car that I am going to complete.

So, for the car, it has:
2.2L Carbed
4Sp Manual Trans
Pwr Steering
Pwr Brakes
13" Rubber
A Cassette Player


I dont have pic of Turbo Motor Yet!!!
It needs some work... how ever, I have located and in turn am/have spent alot of cash so far getting all the stuff I need to make this an awesome machine.
I have for it now:
2.2L Turbo (needing wiring harness, PCM and airbox still)
Shelby Hood, Fenders, Nose Cone, Dash, Console
Unharmed (from stereo installs) rear kick panels
15x6 4 bolt Rims
Neon Seats
Paint
Brand new Carpet
Lots of chrome bits and nuts and bolts.
I still have a list to go of stuff to get.


I am still in the collection mode at this point, only because it is too damn cold to work in a non heated garage.
Here is what I found in the back of this car so far.


Dash, taillights, wiring harness, 2.2L motor, rear interior trays, steering colom, nose,HVAC system etc, etc, etc there is/was stuff in the back of the trucklet.

The lil CRUCK as she sits right now.
I will update when I can... or if there is anything to update.
Project completion June 2013!!! Wish me Luck :P

Neat story and project. Good luck. Good luck working in that kind of weather. If i lived there I'd be even lazier than I am now, if thats possible. Couldn't work in that cold, you are better than me.

That is a classic pic! Not sure which one is you but you and your bud are both look at the pile of parts with that 'What the heck did we get ourselves into' look

Also funny to me that you call it a Cruck, my Bro has been calling his LeRampage that for years, it's probably even in an old post of his here

HAHAH Fortunately I have heat in this garage... however, I am not working on the car atm... waiting for warmer weather, so this is when I spend most of my time collecting parts for it.
