picked up a red 91 wagovan as a new project.a DD for me,was tired of driving the wifes crv.not even 1 hr after i got it i had the suspension ripped out and the koni yellows going in.it has some rust but my buddy fritt is taking care of that.its the 2wd model one w/ a d15b2.slow as shit.i have all the parts for a mini me so i might do that.or i could throw all lowballs parts on it.

    killer job on the body work sir!
  • olsonskiolsonski Wagonist
    Agreed on the body work. I cannot believe you did a patch panel for that rear quarter. Most people would just bondo that rust. Very good work.

    I envy your rust repair ability. Can I send you my wagon?
  • DarinDarin Wagonist

  • DarinDarin Wagonist
    not really an update but.got my rear rebar in (thanks jaker).it is so much better than having the sagging rear bumper held up with zap straps.lol picking up a vitara block soon and collecting turbo parts. hopefully more body work soon too.
