    Ohhh WOW! this is looking fantastic so far. how much would a full color change like that run?
  • well this is the factory color, it was repainted at some point over the years. I'd rather not say prices online but for the amount of work these guys put into this car it was worth the money. It really depends though man, thanks everyone!
  • Everything all packed up, well almost everything...

    We got the headliner and a few other bits on, wanted to put the front seats in just to see how it looked. Still have to trim the carpet a bit and cut more holes in it. Really just wanted to see how it would look!

    I used krylon plastic aerosol, I would usually use some sort of rustoleum product given that its thick and coats great but krylon had the best match for the color I wanted. The upper half of the interior was in good shape and just needed a good cleaning.

    Im in love with this wagon. I love the color choice you chose. I think yours is a Second Gen, it has recessed headlights. Ill definitely be following this.
  • It does have recessed headlights, 84-85 had them if I'm not mistaken. 3rd gen was 1984-1987
