    I'm gonna start investing in some suspension. I've read a lot about this topic and its different than the 4g wagons. So if there is anybody who owns a 3rd gen, would you mind telling me your setup?

    It's been a long time since I posted something so here is an update. I recently replaced almost my entire brake system. Also installed my KYB struts, it takes bumps like nothing. Also ordered the fuel pump which should be coming tomorrow. Few other parts I got...

    OEM Floor Mats

    Rear Fog Lights, some modding has to be done because EDM bumpers are different
    120.jpg
    Another set of Fog Lights, if anyone interested in my old ones let me know
    121.jpg
    I also sandblasted my valve cover, still deciding what color I should paint it

    Finally, I got some blue speaker covers for the front for now, going to paint them once I find a similar color. A HONDA badge and window jail bars. If anyone has some rear headrest please let me know. Thanks!

    nice dude!!! I wondered what the oem floormats were shaped like! I never seen a set... I'm gonna need you to sketch an outline of them on cardboard or paper and mail the outline to me?
  • Very nice, I want those mats! Not sure how I have never seen this thread.

    Most definitely! I'll see if I can send them this weekend. By the way your wagon is coming out amazing. I'm still wondering how your getting all those goodies...

    Thank you sir. These mats would look good with your interior... if I ever sell them you will be the first to know

    Really!!!! Awesome! That is so cool. Your wagon is coming along super fresh!!
  • VladiVladi Senior Wagonist
    Those goodies installed already or nah?
  • TBDTBD Band Wagon
    I finally had the courage to drill holes in my roof. In other words, I installed my roof rack. So yes Vladi I did get a goodie installed. The rest will be installed soon. Here are some crappy pictures of the roof rack.

    So I started losing hope for the Wagon once I saw holes drilled into the doors and the engine running like duke. Luckily, my brother was browsing the junkyard website and found a clean 3G. We went a few days later and pulled a couple of doors, headrests, speaker covers, plastic lining, and a few other things I needed and wanted. Now, my brother took it into the shop to get it ready for paint. Here are some pictures so far...

    Hopefully it will be painted in a month or so. Also, I'm currently rebuilding the carburator and fixing a vacumm leak. I'll have a few more pictures posted soon.

    Yea man I'm excited. I'm going to steal your idea of painting around the hatch black if you don't mind... Also I'm going for one last run to the junkyard. If you need anything let me know

    The dash was in pretty rough shape but I guess you won't be needing it anymore😞

    Anyhow, I recovered some pictures from my old phone. I painted the valve cover and carburetor cover. Also got some recessed headlights.
