Meeky Moose Posted December 7, 2005 Share Posted December 7, 2005 Ugly ain't it? heh.. its started out as an original factory Black gl-10 auto wagon.. now, well, the body is a combo of 5 different cars, drivetrain is a combo of just about everything.. Interior is part gl-10, XT6, and RX. its gonna get sanded down, alot of rust in the rear repaired and painted factory black again... check out the hood.. came off an 89 gl wagon.. had factory pinstripe on the hood, first one i ever saw with it, lol.. ohh and the wheels, well, i had a pain in the arse time gettin them from germany.. only cost about $250 tho.. cheaper and easier than a conversion/5lug wheels..

robm Posted December 7, 2005 Share Posted December 7, 2005 I kind of like the random body panel look. It is different, a bit like wearing brightly coloured odd socks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerry DeMoss Posted December 7, 2005 Share Posted December 7, 2005 I like the wheels.The multi color looks cool like its sitting in the shade partly or something.Very nice project though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EYE_WHY Posted December 8, 2005 Share Posted December 8, 2005 I think you should keep the wagon the way it is! Looks great IMHO!! I love that body kit, wicked nice wheels too. If I were you, I'd just take care of the rust and then leave her be! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
75subie Posted December 8, 2005 Share Posted December 8, 2005 that wagon is pretty wicked. i too think it would look pretty cool the way it is "old skool" a couple RX stickers or something high performance would even help er out:brow: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simple monkey Posted December 8, 2005 Share Posted December 8, 2005 i think you should paint it urban camo, its not too far from it now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hatchsub Posted December 8, 2005 Share Posted December 8, 2005 I love the wheels man!!! When you get it all painted black like you said it will look sick. You should put some red turbo RX decals on the doors as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meeky Moose Posted December 8, 2005 Author Share Posted December 8, 2005 engine bay still needs some work... ac clutch is out and rubbing thats why its white around the edges.. its literally burning, lol.. the power steering lines have a burn/rub hole in them from the twe crossover pipe so its just bypassed at the moment, although its not bad to drive without PS.. once i get her nailed down and running the way i want it to i'm gonna clean it all up, wire loom everything, nip/tuck, etc.. everything was all shiny and clean till i routed a hose wrong and blew the oil dipstick out at full boost.. bah 2 quarts of mobil 1 20w50 is expensive.. ya know i just noticed, it fades from light to dark starting in the front, the multicolor scheme does get the average idiot drivers attention in heavy traffic, they tend to keep thier distance and not ride my rump roast.. it is pretty funny blowing a honda, or maxima off the road in the ole soobie, i get a look from the other driver, haha.. BTW, wheels are 14" factory soob wheels Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Myxalplyx Posted December 8, 2005 Share Posted December 8, 2005 I like the wheels. The body seems straight. What's with the intercooler? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
75subie Posted December 8, 2005 Share Posted December 8, 2005 phatbrat has a set of those wheels for sale Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meeky Moose Posted December 8, 2005 Author Share Posted December 8, 2005 what do ya mean? it came off a Slob. (Saab) the old hood had a rs hoodscoop on it, welded but the hood support braces buckled from too much welding and it kinda caved in, lol.. was rubbing my BoV so i had to put a stock hood back on it.. i think this time around i'll cut the scoop in half, take about 3" of length out then epoxy it back together so it will fit the raised part of the hood right.. then on it goes again.. i just can't screw this hood up, they're hard to find, lol.. bodyis 100% straight except for the drivers side hood hinge (bent) and the rear fenderwells/cargo compartments where the rust is. underneath isn't real bad.. some minor rot on the frame rails.. gotta fix that too.. nothing has broke due to rust even with the power it has now.. rear diff hanger was reinforced though, the last one broke in half..:-\ I like the wheels. The body seems straight. What's with the intercooler? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
