My WAGO project in east TN
dragracr1320
New Wagonist
ok, heres how i ended up wit her, i was building a boosted ef sedan and just so happened to see this wagon sittin in the weeds behind a car lot. It was previous sold after a water pump and timing belt job but the crank pulley bolt didnt get torque'd down so the bolt and key fell out, long story short no alternator no power so the car dies and the car lot refunded the money and then it just set there. I picked it up for 300 as is, has new water pump, timing belt, head gasket, intake mani gasket, axles, struts, etc. very minimal rust, just surface rust slight paint bubbling. everything works including ac. my plans is semi built sohc turbo or Hswap, already have the sohc turbo parts so thats my direction for now. Ive also picked up a set of recaros, some wheels and a rack.
when she came home
need a hood or bra(lmk if you have either)
only rust on entire car, the underside of the car is cleaner than the exterior, simply amazing
installed the rack
new wheels and stance
the recaros i picked up(need cleaned but hope to have them installed today)
The bumper is off cause im mockiing up the front mount and piping, also doing a diy home depot lip which in my opinion is turning out great, still need to add some support brackets but the basically just for shape. should have more updates today. Hope you guys like and input is greatly appreciated, thanks

Let me know what your idea's are, and I can possibly point you in the right direction. I did a lot of trial and error when I built mine.
Here is a link to that thread. Read the entire thread, there is some really good info in there:
