    where did you get your struts? I need them badly....
    I got mine from a fellow member on here. You can get them on eBay I believe.

    Well my alternator is bad, battery is bad, radio is fried and my passenger side axle boot ripped. It happened all so quickly lol time to drop it off and help my friend in the shop at school.

    Bad battery or bad alternator frequently damage the opposing component. IE: bad alternator ruins good battery and vice versa.

    Ouch.. That sucks.. I have a parts car.. But, my black wagon really needs the struts..

    Fixed the alternator a week ago or so but still need to get the axles and radio but no money :/ on to better things, auto body class was having a cookout got to wash my car and noticed some wheels sitting outside abandoned. Looked like they would fit the wagon so I asked the teacher if I could have them if they were not using them. He accepted hell he even said I could paint them if I liked the look of the wheels on the wagon. All I know about these wheels he said they were from some Nissan a customer donated.

    Cleaned them up one of the wheels a tad and hooked it up. I like. :encouragement:

    That's what the instructor at mechanics told me also.

    Did some carpet washing. Used some a Dove dish detergent, hand full of scrubbing, and vacuuming worked lovely.

    Ahhh…That will smell fresh. Look good too. I love a nice carpet!
  • Hey..im interested in the wagon send me an email@ chewy3055@gmail.com
    I'll give you my # then..tnx

    It is the fuse holder that connects to the battery.

    Replace the factory fuse holder with another one or take apart and add two inline fuse holders.[/QUOTE]

    Still smells fresh to this day. Nothing much going on with the wagon but one of my buddies saw this yakima
    Joe pro about to get thrown out and he claimed it and sold it to me for 30 bucks. Other than that just making car wheel pots in 3D art lol.

    I miss it as well. I'm going to get smaller sub so I can put the cargo cover back on.

    Fellow member on the forum notified me of a spare wagon at LKQ and I took some parts.

    Nah it wasn't. If you need anything Lmk. It was actually the first time I've been to one. It was a cool experience.

    Some progress on the wagon. My instructor Ron and I got the fender and door on. We swapped the door latch, handle and lock from the other door. Couldn't take to many pics but I did take some. After we took the door and fender off, we noticed that the door and fender were not the original ones.

    Washed the wagon after the procedure and noticed another wagon parked outside for some body work. Pulled up the wagon next to it and snapped some pics with it.

    Close up on the fender and door. The fender needs a tad bit more of work done to it. There's a dent in the middle and a couple high spots here and there that need to be tapped down and bondoed. So the plan now is to figure out what color the paint is to get a color match and blend the paint on to the rear door. I'm very pleased with the results looks 100% better than before.

    Thanks man! Yea man maybe Prennro can make some multi colored wagon stickers ha! I really don't know who owned it but there was this old guy that came in to drop off a car. It potentially could of have been him. But I doubt he his a member but I can tell you the wagon had the crappiest paint job ever! Streaks all over the hood and they didn't even bother to tape the trim. I guess it's a get what you pay for deal going on. Are you speaking of that lowered white wagon with black wheels?

    Got a color match on the wagon. So next step is to do the necessary bodywork and out spray some liquid on her. Also, I returned to the junk yard today to get the hood. Luckily the hood was still there. Whoever went before me pulling parts went ham on it. So I deep cleaned the hood since there was gunk all under the hood. Then I went to test fit the hood. It doesn't lock into place so I'm guessing the T bar needs some adjusting.

    Having the seats fold down as so has been super helpful. Love it!

    No problem! There not to bad considering they were shot with an iPad. I did not even see one wagon in the city. I was searching like a hawk for one.

    My wagon is slowly morphing into a brown wagon.

    Whats left before any further body work is some frame work. If you notice in the picture ones of the headlights are caved in more than the other. So that's means some pulling. Also planning on getting new headlights. Simplyhonda's idea is cool they just don't brighten up the path at night enough and these headlights have some of the mounting plastic pieces broken off.

    Also got a cool CD case and wiper plug.

  • Did you ever open up the center console and put LEDs there?
  • My passenger side headlight bucket was bent on my sedan, ended up having a friend help me pull one from a donor car and replacing it just this past Sunday. I am sure you will be happy to have a straight front end, I know I am!
  • The Green and Gold is cool looking to me at least.
