This is a photo of my stock eliminator 83 wagon at the 2004 Seattle national event. The car lives in Florida now.

not yet.. just gonna drop it out in January and check on the damages.. See how bad it is. I know the 2 rear passenger frame mounts arent attached to the body so i may just bust out the welder and go pro touring on the frame. Lower it all the way around. make a corner carver out of it. Frames are absolutely impossible to find for the wagon and although i know there is a guy who makes the rear horn extensions , i still would like to mini tub etc...
you know how it is once you get *ss deep in a project you end up neck deep before you know it .

I'm sure you'll come up with a viable solution. You might be better off just repairing your frame. At least you know what you have. Buying a frame from someone, unless you're right there looking at it dead-on, it still might have it's share of problems.
Besides, shipping a frame could get real costly.
While you have the frame out, check around the body mount holes. They are known to become elongated from rust...that dirty word.
Hey, I know what you mean being *ss deep in a project. You reach the point of no return. You either see it done to the end, or scrap the whole project. But usually at that point you already have too much time and dough invested in it.

There is a wagon shell for sale around my area and I have a buddy that hauls cars for a living. I could always go look at it and take pics of the frame ect for ya. Retired and have time to spare.
