jrock4224 Posted June 25, 2012 Report Share Posted June 25, 2012 Forgot to mention this. First thing I saw when I got it off the trailer. Thanks Joe! The magnet made the transport trip just fine but now its on my dash since I don't want anyone to steal it. I'm really liking this car. It is very reliable and I have been putting it to the test. For example, I had to install a new water heater last Friday. It fit with room to spare and the car put up with the stop and start running back and forth to the store that goes with any plumbing project. :) where do u get one of those ... i collect refrigerator magnets...(dont ask i don't know either, how i got into this....)

greengoon Posted June 27, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 27, 2012 I've been working on an older guy local to me that has one of these.. gotta thin the inventory first, though. Nice! In good shape? All the good cars are up there. Both my wagons came from the Pacific Northwest. Quote Link to comment

Cuts metal like mad Posted July 7, 2012 Report Share Posted July 7, 2012 I had dreams of fabbing up some rear fender skirts for it... i still wonder what it would look like. Maybe lakes pipes and baby moons Quote Link to comment

Zeusimo Posted July 18, 2012 Report Share Posted July 18, 2012 My Friend Has One Of These His Paint On The Roof And Hood Is Also Messed Up But Your's Looks Cleaner Haha Cool Cars But That I6 Likes To Drink Gas Quote Link to comment
greengoon Posted July 22, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 22, 2012 ...But That I6 Likes To Drink Gas Yeah, not as good as the Datto but its one of the prices I pay to drive it. :cool: Been whittling away at my to do list on the car. Did the front brakes a few weeks ago and it made a huge difference. Scored some unused Monroe air shocks from a friend that fit perfectly. Stiffened up the rear and lets me carry heavier loads. Its nice having an extra car laying around. I changed a couple rusty door handles out with clean ones. Finally got my front plate mounted. I didn't want to use the large factory mount so I bent up these little brackets to convert the Japanese spacing to American. I've been cleaning up the interior. I have all the good door panels now and they cleaned up quite nicely. Inside of the doors are in great shape too. The headliner is nearly perfect. Removed the back seat and cleaned up a little surface rust. Cleaned up the seat belts and put them back in. The next step is to put the dash back together, clean up the wiring and restore the center console. Then the interior will be done for now, except for front seat re covering. Quote Link to comment
72dyme Posted July 22, 2012 Report Share Posted July 22, 2012 This wagon is gonna looking amazing already. It makes me want to pull out my seatbelts and clean them. It's all the little things that make a difference. Keep up the good work as always Quote Link to comment
jrock4224 Posted July 24, 2012 Report Share Posted July 24, 2012 hey d, do u think next time u have one of those dr 20s off u can snap a pic of the inner center hub.....i really wanna make them fit a goon with minimal if not no rubbage...i have had success with milling ten mm off a center hub before and i think if i shave 6 mm off the rears i could tuck them with out heavy fender mods...as far as the front.. i have 280 's like u know and imagine they will fit fairly well no mods...but if i have to would consider taking some meat off the hub face too...its no rush...but i m trying to stay away from works.....if possible...found some similar ebay type with offset just not sure i wanna guinea pig a wheel mfg i never heard of before... showed the wife your heritage vid ... she loved it but whats not to love...

greengoon Posted July 25, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 25, 2012 They seem to have a pretty thick hub area. I should have them off in the next few days and I will post up a pic. Quote Link to comment

INDY510 Posted July 26, 2012 Report Share Posted July 26, 2012 They seem to have a pretty thick hub area. I should have them off in the next few days and I will post up a pic. At first I was gonna say,,,, I already have the wheels off and could take a pic ..... . but then I found some pics already taken ... :lol: I saw a 15x7 +10 and +15 on ebay ... .. I swear it was 4x114.3 but now all I can find is 4x100 .... and zero offset 4x114's ... .. if you can get the offset you want in the right bolt pattern,,, machining a $90 wheel seems ridiculous Quote Link to comment
jrock4224 Posted July 26, 2012 Report Share Posted July 26, 2012 dr 20s are only in o offset for 4x114.3.... works sells them but not for 90.... like i said i saw a company on ebay making a similar in a offset too...i just fiigured since i can get machine work for free that i might just make a custom offset....pretty sue he zeros would fit my 280 struts but in the rear for as low as i want on a solid axle i will have to remove some material...no tmuch Quote Link to comment
datrod Posted July 28, 2012 Report Share Posted July 28, 2012 I see Miles is in on the action. What car is he going to drive to H.S. ??? Quote Link to comment
greengoon Posted July 29, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 29, 2012 I see Miles is in on the action. What car is he going to drive to H.S. ??? He actually wants an original Mini Cooper (or an F10 Cherry) but we've been doing a lot of bicycle commuting so he will probably ride his. :) We'll see what I have in the stable by then, he's a few years away. My daughter's 13 though and she has her sights set on my wife's 01 Civic. Every car we own is a stick shift so they will be one of the few of their peers to know a manual transmission.
