Projekt.....1972 wagon

well pretty sure this will lead me back to the single life(divorce..) when this is discovered....drove 450 miles round trip and filed up the 22 ft enclosed trailer...with cheese and dattos...why u ask is it called limp mode.... well the 2006 duramax dually had a plugged fuel filter so everytime u had a long pull... i e hill over a mile long or passing the truck would go into limp mode and we had to pull over....flash the computer of codes and sepnd ten mintues waitng...i think on the way down it only happened about 5 times ... but on the way back... i say it was about 8-9 times...made for a long day i was contemplteing swapping the filter in the parts store lot had it not been monsooning all day...i got stuck drive casue my co hart hans...aka jesus had worked nigt shift and hadnt been to sleep yet...36 hours and counting and when we got back he had been awake mostly sober aside rom the beer kenny gave him during loading...while at kennys i just about knocked over his house with my head ..... walked through a very short door... which is a issue for only kenny and i since we both are over 6-5 i think...i thought i knocked myself out or scalped myself...no blood so we loaded up the uber fresh l18 kenny had built that will reside in south paw...along with the cbr 900 carbs...fun trip work didnt burn down while i was gone so thats a plus... wife ripped me a new one for coming home late from picking up "some parts" for han's....hehehehehe ssssshhhhh...but other than that it was a nice little datto adventure...and in the end, no lie we paid kenny more than his asking price for holding it for us and short sticking another potential buyer...so sorry if you were other potential buyer...the car matches my 521 i couldn't not have that...plus hans, being a street bike fanatic, had a major boner for that carb set up and the megajolt ignition..i had come to terms with not scoring this car but glad i did...like i said car is very solid and mostly there...

this is the only real bad in the car this lower seat base is garbage its falling apart as the pic is being taken... which is wierd since the floor is fine and the seat cushion looks like it was never sat in..+

door seals all need to be replaced...and rear seal threw away the windshiled...tranny removal ruined that at some point and nicked the cowl...

So my plans....for this .....

 

we got a couple 3 l20s gonna stuff one of those in with a factory five speed out of a wagon... the su's that were going on south paw are now gonna be on this goon...coilovers out front ... four link in the rear and either coil overs or air shocks...with on board air and valves...i love goons just always seem to hve to much rake ... i want a little rake but also real low....but still have a functioning rear seat for when my wife boots me and i need to cart my daughter around...gonna run 15's r 16's might end up a ka since i got a dohc kicking around but nned a tranny fo it since im not running automatic....

 

so my needs list... full front 280 zx struts with brakes...oh and rear lower seat pan......anybody know how hard that will be to find...t

so smagoon is like a slang term for man goo cause i removed the interior from snail trails...we did get some vintage and rare tilamook cheese from kenny...

 

yup the goon will stay this color as it matches my 521, but hans(owner of said blue 2dr.) wants to tear it down and paint it... i vetoed that i got a shit load of time in his two door... i will blast the enginbay and shoot the engine compartment and wheel wells along with windshield post and opening before the l20 goes in... gonna sound deaden the shit out of the interior... i hjust dont have the time or energy to do another paint job along run a business as well as keep my wife off my case...

Ok all u ratsuners ...... If u ever plan on repainting your goon or coupe then please don't use por 15 unless u are gonna leave it ..... I love por 15 but hate blasting it off the goons engine compartment ......... Especially anywhere it pooled up like fuse box tray or anywhere it ran with gravity......I gotta a pretty intense blaster so it being a bitch for me would make it near impossible for a hobby blaster.....

i wish they repopped that lower valance....mines not bad but not great either....took about a hour and a half to blast the nose...using garnet sand and walnut shells....woulda been done in a hour had it not been for the fuse panel tray and the por 15 pooling up....little pin holes under battery tray but other than that pretty clean under hood

yeah u think.....quik510 was nice enough to sell and ship cross country a set of zx struts....t3 stuff is on its way for that...and I'm gettin the rear low, even if i gotta weld the housing to the body....since, the wife has sniffed out my wagon so i am treading lightly for now...hoping for a summer of love with a fold down seat and a super dumped wagon
