Getloworgohome's wagon build thread

I picked this up just as a little beater to get around with, but Im kinda starting to fall for the car, so ive decided to devote some time and money to it and have a little fun.

Its a 1990 2wd auto, I bought it with a lot of the interior missing, Ive tracked down some of what i needed from some local junkyards, now im pretty much just short a headliner, carpet, and kickpanels. The car runs good, everything seems to work not that it really has much for options... A/c and a radio really. The last owner was a body guy and was starting this as a project, so the body is nice and straight, not really even so much as a door ding. It does need a tailight, which i ordered friday..

Current Mods
Drop on some ebay lookin adjustable coils
prelude seats

Soon to come:
Real paint
wheels
Ive got an HID kit that should fit it laying around
Tint
Ive got a bunch of air ride stuff from a truck i used to have, and that may find its way onto the wagon, too

Couple pics:
As it came home.

I threw on some fogs I had laying around the garage this weekend, and snagged a roof rack off an 85 I found in a junkyard friday. Im not sure how i feel about the rack yet.. I need to clean it up and paint it maybe.

    The fogs are some cheap ass autozone deal that was hangin around in my garage, nothing special. I think I actually bought them for an old honda 3wheeler I had. The car cost me 800. with paperwork, taxes, insurance, ect ect, im in it for about 1000

    Yes and no, I suffer from gout, and the day i went and bought the car, I was having a hell of a flare and had just had about 35cc of fluid drained off my knee. I had the crutch with me, it got left in the car, and I wedged it there a couple days later as a goof. Ive also been using it to hold the hatch open, as the gas struts that are supposed to hold it are shit.
  • what year lude seats do you have in there?
  • 4th gen lude seats 92-96
    howd you get those lude seats to fit?
  • I'm not sure on the year, I assume afidarkside is going by the pic above. They were in the car when I bought it. I actually don't like them, I'm a big guy and they squeeze me in the ribs.
  • word. nonetheless great car good luck on it
