Well i bought this car about 2 months ago and i haven't had the time to wax it and wash it so its been really dirty.

I also removed the spoiler too because i really don't like the way it looks.

Well here are some pictures the day i brought it home and after a good cleaning. it needs a lot more work but im done for the day ive spend all morning trying to get bike handle marks out of the paint from the previous owner

Before.





After.











What do you think

 

Nice Wagon! Looks Clean...........

 

Yeah it is, it's a hard color to find too. What are you doing with the spoiler? I might know someone who wants it for his wagon......M E !!!!!!!

 

The car looks good. How about the interior?

 

Welcome. Looks good.

 

Well The interior will be done tomorrow afternoon. I need to shampoo the carpet and condition the seats more then anything.


As far as the spoiler. its sitting in my garage collecting dust. if you want it make me a offer. Im waiting till after winter to respray the bumbers because it looks like some on decided to wash them with a sandblaster.


Still working on getting stage0 Done been taking my time hopefully in the next month or so i can do the brakes,timing belt,tuneup,and exhaust to fix the exhaust leak that annoys me.

 

hmmm, what kind of shape is it in and do you have all of the mounting brackets/hardware?

 

It needs paint other then that its in good condition and im sure i have everything needed since i took it off this morning. ill go snap some pictures for you

 

Pm sent with the pictures

 

Dang, that was a pretty snappy response. You're really on top of things there in Illinois.



(that's what she said)

 

P.S. Are those Perfos on your car and not Columbias? It looks really nice.

 

+1 on the nice wheels.........but saddened by the take OFF of the Spoiler

 

Yeah, but that spoiler is going from one wagon to another wagon.

somthngfrce, are you trying to steal my roof rails on VS?

 

I think they are perfos. im not to positive as they were on the car when i bought it.

 

I'm pretty sure they are. I definitely like them better than the Columbias. I like the edges in the "swooshes" on them, cleaner, and a little more aggressive I think. That wagon would look really good with some IPD sport springs to drop it an inch and a quarter.

 

Its going to get lowered in the spring. was going to do ipd sport springs and koni fsd's along with ipd swaybars

 

That will look real nice then. I can't wait to do the suspension on my wagon, but gah, that's so far away. Patience grasshopper.

 

looks good man!

 

Nice job on the waxing job. Now you need to clean up the modeling.

 

Paint looks wonderful and I'll second fcpgroton in saying you need to dress the moldings. Stoner Trim Shine is what I've always used. You can buy it for $4-$5 at can, Pep Boys and Checker carry it, a few others, moreshine.com will give you a more complete list. If you want to order online, the full range of Stoner stuff is available at Summit. The most recent car I owned with the gray bumpers was a 2000 Saturn SL. A quarter of the can was all was needed to restore the door moldings, rocker moldings, and both front and back bumpers. Went from a chalky light gray to a deep charcoal gray and made the car look 100% better than it was. I cheated, sprayed directly on the plastic, then rubbed it in. You're supposed to soak your rag and wipe, but I wanted deeper results. It's an amazing product and I recommend it to anyone who has the gray or black moldings on their cars. Just don't get it on your glass unless you're doing the windows later. It fogs them up.
