Yesterday I replaced the busted rear crossmember and the bushings that go above the diff. Today, I reinstalled the stereo, installed some speakers in the rear and finished cleaning it up from its slumber. Then I immediately found a large quantity of mud to drive through repeatedly.
finally got her to pass smog, got her regesterd and plates, fixed her dash lights so they work, bolted the weel well back on because it cracked due to a flat, cleaned the driver side seat and now workin on sandin the bumper. progress is finally startin to show.
Raised the coils up all the way on the RT, replaced the viscous coupler with one from the parts car (woohoo rt again!), put on some 175/70/13" nexen snowies on some 13" cheviots..
lasty installed a compustar alarm/start/door locks
Got some new dash vents from the junkyard to replace my busted and missing ones. Detailed them with a q-tip, glued them where needed, and sprayed a dry lubricant on all the little joints. Now I'm looking for an OEM clock to put in the center vent before I install it.

Marc is selling a JDM clock I think. Check the for sale forums if you can.
put some piaa wipers on the wago...oh the joys of being able to see when it rains! Also ordered some HID's so i can see at night with my garbage eyesight.
Cleaned her inside & out. She had been sitting for over a year when I pocked her up a week ago. Installed a new starter, timing belt, oil change, new tires, new wipers.
Replaced the ignitor in the dizzy and still have no spark. Gonna try and get my hands on a complete dizzy or the coil next and replace that. I also rewired the ignition switch since mine didn't throw any spark. Getting there slowly but surely.
My buddy gave me one of these: Viper 5901 Responder LC3 SuperCode SST 2-Way Security and Remote Start System so I installed it on Sunday along with 4 door lock actuators and a door lock switch into the dash of my '90 wagon. Power door locks is a must with young kids in not so nice weather.
Got some new rims and scrubbed to hell out of them. Got me some mesh type rims off an old BMW, black w/ polished lip, 15x6, 205/50 tires and all for $80 bucks. I CAME UP!

Damn, jesseCRX...your Wagon is clean! Since I am just starting on my build, today I peeled the old wrinkley tint off the windows and got them all cleaned up. Looking to start cleaning up the interior this week.

They got all corroded, causing the car not to start and me to think my battery was bad.

Happy with the results.
Getting the passenger rear door to open involved cutting open the exterior door handle and operated the latch with a screw-driver.
When I go to the junkyard for a new exterior handle I'll look for a new clock as well.

Took her out for a shuttle cruise.
Oh, and new windshield wipers.
