    you havent had rust til chunks of ur front fenders come off when ur cleaning snow. by the time i junked my first wagon she had quite a few sheet metal screws and rivets holding together those fenders. i wish my parents had taken better care of her b4 i got her.
  • RallywagonRallywagon New Wagonist
    but she sure could put most SUV's to shame. never got stuck in the snow and she was only a 2wd with all seasons...(sniff) u always remember ur first...

    who gives a damn about faded paint...seriously, it doesnt take much to get new paint job...

    rust is cancer, it will never go away unless you have oodles n' oodles of $$

    Damm... Rust blows... sorry for your losses. ( your 1st is always special)

    hey guys, I know I haven't posted any pics recently...
    I had some trouble with my engine for a while, and had to replace some
    parts but now is good and running.
    well here are some updates of my car that I'm doing over this summer
    I decided to fix all the dents I could find and give it a new look...
    It is still on the process of a new paint. I dont know if I want the original color
    or go maybe something with white...what do you guys think???
    Any suggestion on the color is welcome!
    Oh...I still drive it like this...jeje...the look of my car for now :)

    Welcome! Nice lookin C-REX!
  • Eagle BeagleEagle Beagle familEE
    color, two tone ?

    preference for a car, first white next blue then two tone any combination, sort of " )

    frankly my damn i dont give a deer what 'my' car looks like, the better the looks, more 'have' to spend attention=time with ...
    must have: sweet ride, minimum of 50 watts speakers and.....thats about it : P

    but, respect for the swap, sanding and paintjob (whateffr result)

    go with a canary yellow, i think it'd look really good on a wagon with white or black rims.
  • wagodizzlewagodizzle Council Member and EDM expert
    keep it the original Cream...yúúúúúmm. best color dude, haha.
  • A_CrxRiderA_CrxRider Band Wagon
    Sorry all for not posting in a long time... No, I wasn't death!
    I was away for college and got caught up more with school stuff last year that I didn't have much time to do anything else...
    After driving my car without a new paint for a while I finally decided to paint it white. My plan is trying to make it similar to the first wagon my family got.

    Here is in the process of the new paint

    While trying to put a new engine into my wagon, decided to paint the engine compartment also...
    Right now I'm trying to put a regular d16a6 and do the dpfi to mpfi swap

    Finally had time to finish putting the new engine on my wagon
    Changed the clutch, and installed the new suspension. It rides nice.
    The car drives great!:D
