    Ok, where are my seat folks?

    Are all the seat backs on the wagons 1 piece? Or do they become a 2 piece like every other Honda?

    I read somewhere that the 88's are the only ones like this. But that was pertaining to hatch backs specifically. Thought I'd tear apart my passenger seat since it was out already.

    Trying to do a seat pan swap on my Lude seats...

    bumper off.... welded on with 24 years of mud lol also removed about 10 lbs of mud from the bumper too haha

    after cutting out the rust, a template was made to transfer to metal to be welded in

    sheet metal, then cut with a plasma

    I expected it painted tonight lol

    We just keep going deeper and deeper... no point in doing it, if you're not gonna do it right the first time. Might as well do it the way I want, and not the way I think would be easiest to cover up some blemishes. Ya feel me?
  • 503Wagon503Wagon moderator
    sounds like excuses son!

    lol i kidddd i kiddd...keep up the good work.
  • LayspeedLayspeed Wagonist
    Looking good Charb! I'm not looking forward to the day I have to fix the rust on mine. That's assuming I EVER fix it.
