    looks like you got your work cut out for you but I say go for it and bet of luck with your build. Should look great when its finished so keep us updated. I like your paint color choice but I'm curious to see how it will look on a wagon. Are you going to change the interior color?
  • jdmrt4wdjdmrt4wd New Wagonist
    thanks man i appreciate it..on the interior i was thinking black with red itr recaros ..or just redo the tan..im sure black interior would be hard to find for a wagon lol

    also theirs a photoshop of a wagon in midori green in the multimedia section
  • ccareyccarey New Wagonist
    black or grey would be difficult since were all dealing with limited availability of stock interior parts and cars. Main thing I guess would be the panels because carpet and headliners and seats are easily changeable. I say keep it stock and redo it but thats just my opinion and make a few interior mods of your own to make it unique
  • jdmrt4wdjdmrt4wd New Wagonist
    yea thats the plan unless i can source a mint black interior lol if any1 has any jdm parts let me know looking for clear corners.decent black floor mats,oem ef hood bra just anything jdm pretty much lol
  • rosewoodrtrosewoodrt Band Wagon
    good start. i would keep the tan interior.
  • jdmrt4wdjdmrt4wd New Wagonist

  • jdmrt4wdjdmrt4wd New Wagonist
    ^^lol yea i was in the middle of a transaction last year but i got locked up for possesion of mary j.but i trusted my roomate to handle it but instead he stole their money along with a bunch of my belongings and the dick blew the tranny in my DD which i was nice enough to let him drive while i was gone ..im in the middle of resolving it tho one guy got his money back but im givin the other guy a bunch of 2g parts that are worth triple of wat i owe him (90 bucks) .i think perm. ban was a bit much ,but i do have another PP account "awdee4" haha
  • wagovanguywagovanguy Wagonist
