I know that game... I've run into the same problem every time I look at the wheel.

That nardi wheel is sick!!! 

 

Really nice clean shuttle. 

Thats an extremely nice wagon dude nice one!

I always loved your builds. And as usuall this one turned out nicely as well. The side decal is great.

The corners originaly where grey. Not sure why, but they get this pink touch over the years...

I switched jobs/careers recently. I'm now am a commercial producer. Anyways, the new gig has been keeping me extremely busy lately, plus there is a bunch of new equipment I've never used before- that I need to familiarize myself with. For instance the Canon 5D. I got caught up with my current projects and managed to squeeze in some alone time with the Canon... And I just happened to drive the wagon today...

Anyways, just getting better acquainted with a new camera. 

So this weekend I got a text from a friend and he alerted me of an 85 wagon at the salvage yards.

I headed over as fast as I could.


I got the headlights! I've been trying to get my hands on a set of these bad bitties... I tried using 1985 hatchback recessed headlights, but they were different than the wagons. Naturally, why does the wagon have to be so difficult??? Nothing is ever inter-changeable.

Anyways- having tried to mount the Hatchback headlights in my wagon- i realized some similarities and some differences. Like; there are 2 screws that mount up perfectly and 2 that don't. All are kind of crucial to getting the headlights mounted correctly. Basically you need to drill out these mounting brackets that are tack welded on to the front of the wagon.

Wagon at yard.




I obviously didn't have a drill at the Salvage yard, so I used a chisel (I don't know why I had a chisel) and a hammer, but some of the metal from junk yard wagon came with them. When I got them home- I drilled out the tack weld spots and used a dremel to shed the excess metal I borrowed from the salvage yard wagon.

Then sprayed them with rustolium. White was the only color I had in stock




Drilled holes. used screws to mount


Ya know, you would think; "yes! We are all but done!" Nope- the headlight plug changed from 84/85-86/87.... Cut and wire.


one done.





I did finish the headlight swap completely... I will take better pics sooon!



Also I took the 85 wagon cluster- cause I liked the way it looked. I thought I could swap out the faces with my wagons.,... also slightly different...

Here is what I wanted.


here is what I ended with... lols.

Better pix... but only a few. Camera died. I had 3 batteries with me. ALL batteries were dead. lols. classic

O also I got a bra, brah's! its a little wrinkly, but its brand new- needs to sit in the sun for a while.

Got roof rack installed last night.

As per a friends recommendation- I picked one of these up.


Measure measure measure. Sharpie lines everywhere. Drill holes. A friend also told me to silicone around the anchors before putting them in, so i did. Use Riveter. Let silicone dry. Use alcohol or nail polish to remove sharpie lines. install rack.


The rack i purchased from 25honda.com, It was painted black, but last weekend I ran into the Wagon at the yard and it still had its chrome roof rack rails on it- so I picked them up... Now I just need to remove the black paint from the roof rack bars.


All done
