Default My wagon

Well, since I been asking a butt load of questions here, I figured it was time for me to debut the **** wagon for you. Just need to throw on some tint for these hot Georgia summers and I'll be done.

BTW, thanks to all of you who sent me links and provided advice. I wish the internet had been common place 20 years ago when I was turning wrenches for a living.

Yep, did the lights myself. Ordered them from FCPGroton.

Also Debadged the exterior. Replace the struts, shocks and uppermounts for both.

Replaced the cylinder head with a used one from my donar sedan.

New axle shafts, PCV kit. New head unit with blue tooth. rear tail gate struts and rattle kit.

Pulling the driver seat this weekend for recovering and window tint tomorrow morning.

Still need to replace all the factory speakers and want to remove the roof rack and replace with drip mouldings.

LOL! seems we all want what we haven't got. I like the smoother look myself. BTW, comments requested on the wheels. Can anyone photo shop them black or gun metal. I'm not so sure about the present look.

TIA

I actually thought I commented on how good the wheels look. Silver wheels look real good on the white car.

Here is my edited pics.

I like the first picture you did. Maybe if I had gotten 16 or 17 inch it would look right to me. Since the tires were brand new, I went back with 15's. Maybe when it warms up, I'll paint them, or recondition the OEM wheels and recolor in gun metal. These wheels are some cheap MOMO's I found at discount tire and they looked better on the website than in person.

Your wagon looks great and the wheels too. I would leave them silver.
