datrod Posted October 30, 2014 Report Share Posted October 30, 2014 Made to order and take a long time to get here. That makes no sense. Just order them, It's not like your wagon is going to be done anytime soon. And you have some kickass wheels to run "IF" your wagon gets finished before the wheels arrive. 1 Quote Link to comment
Just Joel Posted October 30, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 30, 2014 lol... This ^^^ do you know how long it took to get these and restore them? I don't think my rotator cuff will ever be the same after all the sanding :( Quote Link to comment

Just Joel Posted November 18, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 18, 2014 Just put this together for Tankers thread so I thought I'd bump my own with an actual update ;) This is my rear door bump removal procedure... Start by hacking the crap out of your inner fender until you have enough room to clear. This is what mine looked like when I was done... this was probably the hardest part of this whole thing... I had to use worn out cut off wheels in the die grinder to get all the small corners done. I didn't want to use plasma because I wanted to avoid not only the heat but also the slag that will contaminate welding and take time to clean. Ahhh, so nice... Chunk... next was putting back the metal. I chose to make it in two pieces... and then the front... Weld this off extremely slow, your don't want to warp the shit out of your rear panel. when your done, sit back and bask in your new found fender clearance :) Later Joel 2 Quote Link to comment

mrbigtanker Posted November 18, 2014 Report Share Posted November 18, 2014 I want those bumper overriders, they look fuckin bad ass. and so does your whole car. What size wheels you running and offset and tire size to. Quote Link to comment
Just Joel Posted November 18, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 18, 2014 Thanks bud... Fronts are 15 7j +12 with an 8mm spacer to clear the zx struts... Rears are 15 7.5j +6. Tires are 175 55's The safety bars were never intended to fit wagons, I had to section and lower the rear to clear the hatch ;) Quote Link to comment
Just Joel Posted November 18, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 18, 2014 Wheels and tires are for sale soon... Just sayin :D Quote Link to comment

Just might make a move ;) I recently removed the mk1 duck bill in an effort to clean up the front a bit, perhaps the plate needs to go as well? 1 Quote Link to comment
Just Joel Posted November 18, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 18, 2014 Two updates in one day?! Crazy! This is my transmission hump mod for pinion clearance... I actually molded the under seat space in clay to find the exact shape of the under seat clearance. Not satisfied with the available room, I massaged and stretched the seat pan. After shaping another clay model under the pan, I then formed the metal to match... This is clearance where it was needed and nothing more. I didn't want to cut the floor in the first place so I minimized the effected area best I could. Later Joel 1 Quote Link to comment
