    Nice start!

    I've had better luck with the Bulldog adhesion promoter, as compared to the SEM stuff, but that's just me:)

    thanks.. it will be getting a lot of work done to it this winter!!!!
  • did you weld the filler pieces under the taillights to the body? that would look pretty clean

    sure did!!! hopefully will be body worked and primed soon!!!!
  • got off work early today so decided to give the wago some love as i haven't been able to update in a while!! ( finally got some more work done on it ).. got my 91 hatchback front bumper fitted and looking right!!!! modified wagon sh5 foam, modified wagon sh5 bumper support ( so it cannot be seen through lower grille opening!!! ), and modified wagon upper bumper trim to accept hatchback bumper. I think it turned out really good and now just need to decide what lip i will use!!!!!

    also removed all brake lines, proporting valve, and wiper motor and arms and shaved all the holes!!! wiper cowl is also being completely shaved with fiberglass as we speak!! shaved off oem fuel filter bracket ( will run one in-line underneath car ) brake line tuck will hopefully be done this weekend, also will reroute the cable to hydro line, and then body work will start on the bay, primered, and sprayed!!!!!

    looks good with the hatchs bumper super clean
  • Thanks!!!! I love the hatch bumper.....
  • Hey mate, odd question.

    How did manage to take the back seats out?

    The part I'm having a hard time taking the backrest bit out (the bit that folds up and down).

    I can't seem to locate the bolts.
  • they literally take two seconds to take out... there is a metal rod that is on the seatbacks closest to the doors with a plastic retaining clip on them.. pop the clip off and the seatbacks just slide right out....
  • Oh cool, thanks.

    Will take a look after work.
  • Got to get another modification done today which took way longer than expected but i think its worth it!!!! Can anybody tell what i did???????

  • Going to be checking in here ALOT! Looking great man. Where did you get that vans amber paint? It turned out just like the 88-89 bumper signals look. Would match perfect.
    Loving the tucking going on here, more on the wiper motor?
  • installed a rear door handle with no keyhole in the driver's door!!! :)
