here was one of the very first pictures of this wagon.. needing bodywork, paint, and alot of lovin..
taken - July 2007
here it is after a couple weeks of driving it, cleaning it up a bit, some overhaul by aerosol.. some cleaning up of some surface rust spots.. cleaning up the rims, getting some hub caps for it.. cleaned up the grill, new fender mounted mirrors, new antenna, and cut the springs a coil & a coil and a half..
taken - August or something.. 2007
halloween spirit, made the side stickers out of construction paper.. bought the top revolving lights, and mounted speakers in the grill to play the ghostbusters theme all night long. drove all around alameda, and caused a scene everwhere we went.. that + the HID's at night were funnnnn..
taken - Halloween
here i got a set of wheels from an older crown vic LTD, cleaned them up alot, painted the rims a darker shade of red i had laying around at the shop, and cleaned the thin white wall on the tires.. new euro headlamp housings, and 6.5k HID's. tried cleaning up the trim and fix some dents on them.. then reinstalled them along with the roof rack.. and girlfriend bought me my new volvo dash for my birthday.. then cleaned up and painted some interior panels the same color as the exterior, just alot more clear coat on it.
out living in long beach now, and work on the wagon is getting down in the body..
all the rust is cut out, the bottom of each fender, top of car where the roof rack was mounted, weld shut the chrome molding holes, welded the front of the fenders and grill together to flush the front, and welded together a sheet of steel to the headlamp rings to give it a french look.. every dent is pulled, and on the passenger side bottom rocker panel, was a 1/2" deep dent, that stretched from the front that needed repair at the fender, all the way down right next to the rear wheel well.
and everything is cleaned up, and sanded down, about to go over it again because of a couple small dents that are still showing..
almost to paint.. more block sanding, primer, block sand, primer, then it'll be ready for paint..
