Alright wagon lovers. Im in a predicament. I need some advice from my fellow wagofans.
My wagovan is getting painted this weekend fresh oem polar white with a multicolor pearl. here are my choices for the next step.
I currently have a 88 AUTO blue vinyl interior( which i hate ) wagovan.
choice 1: Buy a parts wagon CONS: ( crashed in front and back ) only bad is dash has some wrinkles from from end damage. no taillights, no hatch.
PROS: Clean GREY interior no driver seat rip. engine and Trans has 88K miles, Multi-Point swap and EBC break rotor and pads including the rear simple swap over for me. clean dent less doors and un-tinted windows (windows I could use mine are scratched like hell and tinted.) also has all molding and front bumper wasn't touch during accident.I have a extra motor to build, extra REAL WAGOVAN interior for sale. for $700 get some lowering springs and decent Si or Hx wheels.
OR
choice 2 : Get some good suspension and nice wheels and a ragtop for about $1500.
P.S. Im getting the ragtop regardless.
Thanks for taking your time to read this and your input. Much appreciated.

    Get the parts car whilst the oppurtunity is there, then save up and get good suspension and wheels later. Doesnt have to be one or the other

    With the setup you have nothing is stock why keep the stock interrior? Get yourself some nice front seats like some real/ knock off bride or recaros and them have the back seat reapulstered to match the new sets it should only be like 2-300 to wrap the rears or do some integra seats with grey and blue factory inserts that would look good and you would have grey interrior seats and the blue would be more Subtle all around.

    Just my opinion
