87turbowagon Posted August 7, 2005 Share Posted August 7, 2005 Hi, Im new here. I just got a 87 turbo wagon. The front end is smashed in and the sun roof glass is all cracked. First the front end, the engine runs good and the car came with a lot of front end body parts. I drove the wagon into my garage an ran it just a few mins. It looks like all it needs is a new radaitor for the engine to be OK. It sounds good. But pounding out the front end to get the new body parts on is something I'm not to good at. Second, is the sun roof. where and how do I fix the broken glass? I got the factory books for the wagon, but I can't find much info about the sun roof in them. I really want to fix this wagon up right. The insides look like there allmost new. And I like how the dash looks too. Please help me with this wagon so I can get it back on the road, I can't wait to see how the turbo engine runs on the highway. Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WJM Posted August 7, 2005 Share Posted August 7, 2005 find a body shop and see how they do their work and you can follow that on restoring your wagon. Sunroof glass can be found at a junkyard...there are still many GLs w/sunroofs and GL-10's around....just have to find them. right now I am working on my RX...i smoooooshed it up a little... Before.... During.... After.... I'm working in it! The body work is not bad at all if you just DO IT and know how to weld and cut and ahve some fabrication skills.

calebz Posted August 7, 2005 Share Posted August 7, 2005 Sunroof glass is real easy. Once you get the plastic covers off, there are 3-4 10mm nuts per side to remove, then the glass lifts right out. Watch out for the shimsthat come out with it. Overall, it only takes 10-15 minutes to change the glass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
