Re: wagon getting closer to complete

Nice wagon, man. Welcome to the forum.
I'm not a huge fan of big wheels, but your ride looks exceptional and not out of place. It looks clean with the shaved handles and side marker lights. I think it would look cool with your windows tinted, too.
What type of mirrors will you be using?

Re: wagon getting closer to complete

Thanks for the comment. i also do like the classic look of the smaller wheels.but wanted to do something really outside of the box. I have mirrors already on the car just kind of hard to see in pictures. Maybe you will be able to see them better in this picture.

Looks nice. I'd like to see some interior pics if you have any. Especially the back end.

Re: wagon getting closer to complete

Yeah, I didn't notice the mirrors in the other pics. I like it more every time I see it. I would like to see more pics of the interior, etc. Oh, and yes, I like the color, too.

Re: wagon getting closer to complete

Thanks again guys for all the comments. alot of blood sweat and tears went into the car. Were I live we have a nice blanket of snow on the ground right now. so the car is jammed in my garage right now. I'll see if i have any pictures of the inside back on my computer. I'm still working on the interior at the moment. the front interior is basicly stock at the moment. always tried to make it clean and smooth as the process goes on.

Re: wagon getting closer to complete

What size tires do you have on it? I just bought an 83 wagon last year and would like to put something a little taller on the back. I have a set of American Racing Torque Thruster II's. I'd like to get something as meaty as I can. It is/will be a street/strip car.

Any input would be appreciated.

Thanks
Chad

Re: wagon getting closer to complete

tires are 225/30zr20, about 25" tall. need them so they will tuck. depending on the rim size and what is done to your suspension.
