pl521sss Posted March 6, 2008 Report Share Posted March 6, 2008 My First Wagon. Free from Dennis H. through his source. First day of acquisition Engine Bay Engine After months of repair After a hit by uninsured motorist. Rear section Front and rear bumpers were just rechromed ($500) Grant steering wheel is not real wood after the fact. Did not break my arms, ribs or face. Steering wheel gave way first.

fisch Posted March 6, 2008 Report Share Posted March 6, 2008 Holy cow man, glad you are OK!! My heart skipped a beat when I saw that steering wheel. Way to get back up on the horse and push on. Quote Link to comment
pl521sss Posted March 6, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 6, 2008 also learned that it's really important to put those flat like washerssupport that came with the OEM seats. The seats came out of where it was bolted down to. I did not re-use those washers and reinforcement brackets. It was there for a really good reason. Quote Link to comment
CharlieBucket Posted March 6, 2008 Report Share Posted March 6, 2008 WOW bad luck. glad you are ok. i have been worried about the seats before when swapping them in. the seatbelt scraps you to them so it's pretty important part of the car. my seatbelt really isn't working right in mine, and after seeing this i think i will quickly fix that issue.
