and lose the "edwefprts work schedule" (taking forever).
it's nice to see those projects that people whip together in a couple months time, but I think we'll take more out of these longer projects. A song comes to mind - Alabama - I'm in a Hurry
i think the shorter builds are usually shop built and/or parent funded. :P
it's frustrating to have my build drag on way longer than anticipated, but like you said i'll get more out of the build.
I've been working on this thing here and there the past couple of weeks. This weekend I accidentally drove over some of my wire tuck ripping it out from the inside of the car. So I worked on getting that back in order and ordered $160 worth of brake parts that I needed. I ended up using the raceland coilovers from my del sol, which I sold, and the cars stance is perfect now. The old agx struts I had were blown and didn't let the rear get down very far.
So my plan is:
-fix the passenger side wiring I tore up
-replace front brakes and rear wheel cylinder
-roll fenders making it totally mobile
-replace all the bulbs that have gone bad
-register/inspection/etc...
have you had any prob's with the battery in that location?
one of these days i'm going to install my battery in the same spot with a bracket my brother made.
After the holiday weekends I decided to make some time for the wagon. I got the new brakes on, wiring repaired and wheels on the ground. The brakes are all centric brand from rockauto. I also have been messing around with an exhaust tip that you guys might enjoy.
And my wife, Lee Anne, has been itching for another car and we finally settled on the price and style. Lets see how good your automotive eyes are.
The wagon bumper is my favorite of all EF/4th Gen bumpers. 2011 will be the year of the wagon! I've driven it down the street a few other times since it's been running. The nostalgia will really set it once I am cruising down the highway in it
Just junkyarded the shit out of some bulbs and bulb sockets. Dude totally gave them to me for free too. Weather needs to shape up and the volvo needs to sell!

close, add 2 cylinders and a subsidiary of Volkswagen.
Really looks like a two door.
Finish your wagon!
The wagon just needs some light bulbs, bulb sockets (that I ran over), radiator fan and it should be ready for inspection and registration.
I should probably change out the rear end fluid too...
What's next for the wag?
ok so U know there is a free dollar or 2 for the the wagon project..
im game to lend a hand.. let me know time and date..
