November 16, 201114 yr zukiru, What time frame mustang did you get those coilovers off of and is the strut EA82? I want to drop the rear of the PandaWagon, but I am having a difficult time finding a good set of coilovers that won't feel like blown air struts. The "artist formally known as Ginger" looks nice!
November 16, 201114 yr Honestly... I forget which stang. I'll check and that's an ea82 fwd strut Going to get the 4-runner struts or 4wd struts soon to try and get some of the travel back. And thanks. ginger its what the previous owner called the car!
November 16, 201114 yr Got lots of road dust in aftermarket taillight. Removed from car, popped out bulbs, drilled a few more holes in strategic locations, sprayed in lots of water, dumped out lots of water, sprayed with lots of air. Currently drying above space heater. Will reinstall in morning. Edited November 16, 201114 yr by midkiff333 misspelling
November 16, 201114 yr Very cool, I would like to see the finished bar. Are those slabs worth more than your car? Just about! It should be open by the 15th of december, we hope. I shouldn't post much yet.
November 17, 201114 yr I cleaned it. It was getting pretty bad inside and out.... I also undercoated it heavily to get ready for winter. You can see some of the grease on the rear quarters even
November 19, 201114 yr Went to the junk yard and found a Legacy wagon the exact color of mine with a really nice rear passenger door. Bought it and swapped out the really rusty door on my '96 Brighton. Now the only rust is behind the rear wheel wells and a small spot on my front passenger door.
November 24, 201114 yr Went out and had some fun with Ned... right off the bat I snagged a rock... Got stuck, backed it up, got stuck, so just floored it... whatever it stuck on dragged the rock about a foot or two out of its hole. May not look steep, but it was pretty steep stock height obviously Due to the amount of rain and puddles, theres the maximum amount of Mud the accumulated on him
November 24, 201114 yr Went to the p'n'p and raped the bejeebus out of two fresh Loyale's. Kinda had some competition going on, a father and his teenage daughter were snagging parts to fix up her Soob :-p They got the good fenders off both of 'em as well as the only good hood S'okay though, from the number of body panels they were going after I figure her wagon must've been in pretty dinged up shape. I snagged and installed: almost mint condition front buckets and rear bench seat, complete with good cargo carpeting..... a new un-busted third brake light... replacement rear spray nozzle for my painted over one (idiot P.O...).... complete trip computer with all boxes and harnesses! (hopefully will work).... un-cracked grille, all three bottom studs intact.... lift struts for the tailgate that work even in the cold!..... hacked out the radio harness, as Mr. ************e Mechanic P.O. had basically destroyed mine all the way back up into the dash.... and a few other little interior odds'n'ends. Tomorrow is ball joint day prior to getting tryptophan poisoning from Fat Stupid Bird Day.
November 24, 201114 yr Hats off, well done on the center cyclops light. You and myself, are the rare ones I know of who actually have the oem relay for it, and such. Nice. I actually bought a $700 parts BRAT strictly to get the entire setup from switch to relay, to light, just so I could have one complete. Then i stripped the BRAT and sold it as a running thing.
November 24, 201114 yr i made a m4d jD/\/\ grill. ran out of the rustoleum red, so it ended up safety red, will become the same color as the hood some time.
November 24, 201114 yr The grill actually looks pretty decent without the slats. WTF is "m4d jD/\/\ grill" some type of aftermarket joke?
November 24, 201114 yr m = M4 = A d = D j = J D = D /\/\ = M Mad JDM so yes, joke. That was to obvious.
November 24, 201114 yr Lol yeah. Its m4d tyte! I gotta clean up the holes from where the slats were yet before repainting
November 25, 201114 yr Replaced heater core and cleaned out inside of the Blue Wagon. Cleaned out the inside of PandaWagon and put tools/spare parts back in the cubby holes after removing them for the autocross at SubieFest.
November 26, 201114 yr More rapery of the two fresh-kills in the local p'n'p netted me: -good to great condition door cards front and rear. -a working digital clock (finally, 3d times a charm). -uncracked/scraped tail lights. The replacement of all the stuff the P.O.'s pitbull pup chewed on is coming along quite nicely The complete trip computer assembly is a no-go, I just don't have the resolve to hack into the wiring etc enough to make it work. It did, oddly, come out of an '85 wagon with analog dash, which AFAIK the trip comp should only have been in the digi-dash Soobs??? Anyhoo, if anyone wants it it's theirs.
November 26, 201114 yr Ive just been enjoying my GL! Yesterday I took the hound dog out for a hike. Pretty cool time of the year, all of the Tamarack's are starting to turn color.
November 26, 201114 yr ran seafoam threw my xt6. except for the Crank Case, wont do that till before the next oil change.
November 26, 201114 yr Ive just been enjoying my GL! Yesterday I took the hound dog out for a hike. Pretty cool time of the year, all of the Tamarack's are starting to turn color. I know I have said this before, but I love your wagon. As for me I put my ea81 up for the winter, and have been doing body work to my other one. I also have been working on my standalone on the brat trying to get that running!
November 26, 201114 yr Made a 270+ round trip down to 86subaru's (Jim Wood's) place to get some parts that I have been ((_SLOWLY_) paying for for over 2 years. Gots lots of headlights now... Hoping I really don't need to replace that many sets.......... Got 5 sets o'lights. Lot's of other items too. Filled up the Chevy HHR... Need to take another trip down to grab what he has left of the EA82 parts. I'm happy to finally close the deal we made. He's happy to have a bit more space around his place.
