ok so i purchased my wagon in october for 1400 from this guy from temecula and its been hell since day one!. when i bought it had 17'' racing hart c2's and was missing all the molding all around except for the fender molding. dash lights, turn signals and hazards didnt work and i wasnt able to tell if the car was over heating either =/ first thing i did was add a lip (volvo). i sold the wheels bc i couldnt stand the look

in late september my head gasket blew and the wagon was out for 2 days due to the fact the machine shop took for ever!

    I pulled this carpet from an 89 with manual belts mines a 91 with auto belts, i noticed the seat brackets were a few inches off the 88-89 has a shorter base and the 91's seat base are further apart so i had to modify and cut a bit on the carpet but fits well and looks awesome!

  • spede18spede18 Wagonist
    Nice work on the arm rest.
    Where did you get the upholstery fabric?
  • cw00ekcw00ek Band Wagon
    Cars coming along nicely, im liking that roof rack. I dont know if its just me but I like those GSR wheels on wagons more than GSR's, they look like they should have come that way.
  • 503Wagon503Wagon moderator
    im confused. is your car a RT4WD or no? cuz it looks like one side has the moulding and the other doesnt, and you put on rear 4wd flaps...just wondering if your car has an identity crisis or not.
  • dirtyee2wagondirtyee2wagon Band Wagon
    ^lol I purchased the car with no moldings..bought a complete awd molding set and awd rear mudflaps no its not an awd...both sides say real time awd...
