Today my son and I did a little work on the Felix wagon project.
We installed the rear coil springs and a a 2" lift. I returned the standard shock absorbers for some air shock absorbers, which were supposed to be her today but weren't. We also finally installed the new rear bumper which my wife got me for Father's Day last year. And hopefully if God's will, I'll be starting where I left off on installing the audio system.

I know I asked about the rear glass hinges with spoiler. But I knew I was a lost cause. So my son and I took the broken and rusted hinges off and made some new ones and I still got my spoiler on the rear.

Nice going, John.
I guess if there's a will there's a way. I used to have a few extra hinges, but ended up selling them along with the deflector(s).. It's generally the sheet metal part of hinge that becomes compromised or rusts out, as you discovered.
