New Wagonist
ok so i have been looking for a wagon for a few months but couldn't find any "good" deals. well i found a few but they were gone before i could get to them. a few weeks ago a friend tells me that his friends neighbor has a wagon and wants to sell it, so i tell him to tell them i want it. well his friend never called him back. so a friend of mine went and knocked and the guy said yeah he's selling it so i left work and picked it up.
the wagon had a few problems with it like the driver fender, bumper support was bent, rear driver door wouldn't open and the best of all the key wouldn't stay in the "on" position so the whole way home i had to hold it in a certain position. i went to the wrecking yard and got a fender, lucked out because it was the same color. ttok the bumper off and bent it back to normal, took the door panel off and got the door open, guess the outside handle is broken and a piece was blocking the bar from being pulled all the way. i shoudl be getting a new ignition switch today.
here are some pics of it.
when i first got it
the fender before
it even had the manual in the glovebox, lol
and the after

welcome to the site 8)
I'm actually quoting from a Monty Python skit...
now all i need to make it look decent for now is some coilovers so i can drop it and put my rims on it.
Wago looks good bro.
nope haven't found any springs yet, probly just gonna get the ebay ones. but i found soem b series mounts that were shipped out yesterday
here are some pics
needed a new bushing since the old one had half a bolt stuck in it so we grabbed a lug nut and hacked the end off
then wrapped it in electrical tape to give it a snugger fit
the after results
need to pick up two tires so i can put my rims on and repaint the trim and bumpers and it should look decent
