My '89 2wd Wago

Figured I would start a thread for this. Picked this thing up for $700 bucks, and it definitely needed and still needs some help. We will see if I keep it long enough to make it as good as it can be.
Here's pics of how it looked when I got it, other than the wheels being blue.
Cleaned it up some, the interior was haggard...still needs some help.
Replaced the rear emblems as they were just painted over
Lowered the car some more, put on del sol fat fives and painted them white. Also tried to color match the gas door, got a pass side mirror (thanks shea), and put some different seats in. Also put a legitimate exhaust on the car as the one on there was ran straight over the rear cross member, tack welded to the rear crossmember and held up with chicken wire lol.
Thats it for now, still needs a lot of work and help. We will see where it goes haha. And no that is not over spray on the rear pass tire, just dust...it wiped right off.
Also picked up a pass side corner from shenrie tonight, redid the moldings with some trim restorer and tinted the tail lights as they were all effed.

I have my work cut out for me, but I enjoy projects like this. The seats are out of an EK hatch and were a royal pain to get in lol
And thank you sir! I'll try to keep the standard with this one.
like the rims white!! they look good...
car needs paint so bad, and not another shade of gray....
Haha thanks Bill! And yes I know, its 9 shades of gray already lol
So over the past few days I've done some more cleaning up.
Tinted the tails as they were all cracked and messed up from someones previous attempt at tinting them
Used some trim restorer on all the moldings and side mirrors
Painted the bumpers with trim restorer and tinted the blinker lights also
Blacked out all the emblems
I personally think it looks 100x better with just those little things done, I think next I may try to paint the hood to match the rest of the car....well the front half anyways haha. I really need to source at least a drivers side door panel and some front splash guards. Sorry for the crappy cell phone pics haha.
