    so i got my harness in yesterday!

    well last night i got on my email to see where the package was at. i seen that i was delivered so i run upstairs like its Christmas morning only to not find anything. so i look all over the house but still nothing. so i get back on line and look at my paypal only to see that the address on my paypal account was one from 3 years ago. Fuck! so i get hella stressed out and head over the old house. i get there all the lights are off so i was going to leave my card on this persons door. as im walking up the stairs the package is sitting on their steps so i grab it and take off. it was killing me when i was driving over to get it. i was just hoping the person wasnt an asshole. luckily i didnt even have to deal with them. i was almost out 3 bills.

    today i am just cleaning the bay a little getting all the built up grease that it has taken on over the 20 years


    hopefully this weekend i will drop th engine in and have it already to plug it up and have it running!

    Shoowhee. Close one. Glad you got your harnes mang.


    My schedule filled up pretty fast this weekend, but give me a call when your ready for some help with the wiring and Ill see if I can break away for a few to help out.

    You still have my number? I dont have a computer at home and I dont do texts, so youll need to call me to get a hold of me.

  • shenrie came over and helped me get the engine wired up. now just need to pin a few wires into the harness and everything sould be a go! so hopefully in a weeks the car will be on the road kicking ass!
  • rasrx7rasrx7 New Wagonist
    ver nice!
  • dj alodj alo Wagonist
    so the engine is all hooked up! the last thing i have to do to get it running is the ecu switched to auto trans from manual. but i was at the junk yard today and was pulling few pars when i looked back and seen the wagon had rear mud gaurds! got them for $2 each! it was a very nice day. im looking for coil overs as well for the wagon if anyone have 2 sets that would be awesome let me know. ill get some pics up of the wagons this week.
  • dj alodj alo Wagonist
    so i broke down and ordered some coil overs today. 2 sets! so next week i should be riding a little lower!
  • dj alodj alo Wagonist
    its been a while sense i have updated this thread but i just got my p26 auto ecu in the mail! so tomorrow after i go to the bank im putting it in and hopefully able to put the trans cable back in. which means that it will be drivable!
  • EDwEFprtsEDwEFprts Senior Wagonist
    ^ good to hear.
    (i need to get my hatch going)
  • dj alodj alo Wagonist
    so i was messing around on gimp and made a mock up of what the wagon will pretty much look like when it is done. but it will have the rt4wd wheels painted black on it and lower and a rack as well. just to kinda give you an idea. this idea came to me one day when i was at my buddies house looking at some racks on his dads cars.


    any ways here is the basic idea let me know what you think.


    this is a quick job on this pic.
