    went through the dash and replaced the bulbs next those things are small and a pain to put in.
    replaced some coolant hoses. did the brakes and rotors, did drivers side axle
    next came the rims and tires. went with drag dr 20s the work equip 03 knock offs 15x7 with a +10 offset 195-50-15 was a little worried at first looking at em on the car without suspension thinking they were not going to work out but with the camber kit and coil overs the fit nice

    Lookin good,what wheels are thos? Drag? also what offset?

    Very nice! I've never seen a Wagovan in that color. I thought maybe they were all blue, white, or cream.

    thanks.
    yeah there drag dr-20 knock offs off the work equip 03 there 15x7 with a +10 offset had to roll the fenders and the front has about 1 degree of negative camber the rear has about 2 right now think im gonna bring the rear to about 1 also i could run a spacer for a more flush fitment in the rear if i wanted that negative camber but gonna try and save the tires .

    Im wanting the dr20's in the gold, Just cant figure out which ones to get cause I dont want to roll fenders. I always see 10 40 or 0 offset. Which would I go with?

    I agree with you about saving the tires.
    Never been a fan of the whole cambered out wheel trend.
    Reminds me too much of fools with 13" Daytons on a Regal or Cutlass with half the springs cut to get low.
    Bruised up heads from bouncing off the headliner...LOL
  • natetattoonatetattoo Band Wagon
    yeah that i know the drags only come in +10 or + 40 a stock offset is between +35 and 40 the 40 will have bout an inch and a half lip you def wouldn't have any clearance probes with a 40 just depends on the look your going for i know that the one admin on here has a blue wagon with meshes and he's running a 15x7 with a +15 and said in a write up that he's still gotta run a little - camber to get em to fit like i said just depends what yout running suspension wise and the look you want.
    Yeah georgie as far as the onicamber(demon camber) as the japanese call it its crazy chicano style lowrider mixed with import its weird how american trends get lost in translation and become something very original but very strange.Like the bozozuko style cars its lowrider mixed with traditional american customizing from the 60s and 70s everything exaggerated comic style had a blast researching this stuff

    Thanks and keep it up...
  • minimotos95minimotos95 Wagonist
    what color code is that(contemplating copying your color)? looks nice.
  • natetattoonatetattoo Band Wagon
    its asturias grey metalic clear coat nh502 m
  • minimotos95minimotos95 Wagonist
    hmm same color my door jam says my 89 wagovan is. mine must have been resprayed or is way faded
  • natetattoonatetattoo Band Wagon
    i was looking at mine trying to see if it was resprayed also.in spots it looks like maybe bot other spots not i dunno
  • minimotos95minimotos95 Wagonist
    i am going to guess mine was resprayed and yours is original(or sprayed the original nh502m again) because mine has a slight red-yellow-orange-brown tint to the color other then being lighter too.

    and all the pictures i have seen of nh502m look alot more like yours then mine.


    dammit! i wonder if maaco has nh502m.


    BTW my drivers seat is torn exactly the same... and the same color.... we have 89 wagovans that used to be twins before mine got repainted. even the options look like they were identical

    edit: yup mine is a respray, not even a complete(lazy!!!!) i could only tell when i looked in the rear door jam and saw grey right next to the color it is now

    how many inches is yours lowered?
  • natetattoonatetattoo Band Wagon
    not sure on the lowering. i got adjustable coil overs and just started taking it down slowly
  • natetattoonatetattoo Band Wagon
    so it been a min since i got the wagon. done quite a few things to it. decided to tint the tail lights and corner lights wasn't fond of the corners not to mention you couldn't see too much light through them.
  • natetattoonatetattoo Band Wagon
    got the door panel tops and driver seat redone.And redid the headliner twice still got some bubbles though.
  • natetattoonatetattoo Band Wagon
    Changed clears that i tinted back to amber .Re-sprayed side molding and top bumpers gonna 2 tone bumpers. jdm clear corners 88-89 that everyone said i wouldn't find. Shaved honda emblem still gotta do body work on the shave
  • natetattoonatetattoo Band Wagon
    jdm rear tail lights. shaved rear honda emblem and wiper delete. Lcas
