keep your fingers crossed for me!

I was referring to the Grandpa Simson joke...like your little wagon though!

 

oh! hahaha! but thanks! she needs a really thorough cleaning!

 

I've seen worse interiors - that's not bad.
The rust on the lower left quarter can be repaired fairly easily with a repair panel.
The dent on the right quarter isn't that bad at all - another fairly easy fix.

That being said, $1,000 now sounds a bit steep with the damage it has, unless rusty stuff still has decent value in your area. I'm thinking more like $750.

 

Couldn't find a little guy whacking a cloud...that's probably a tough emoticon to find.

 

not deffinantly still paying $1000. that was just the base we were starting upon. i havent even started my haggling proccess yet. cause when i haggle its damn near impossible to say no to me, i do my research and back my prices up with representation as to why it needs to be lower. but on a different note, rust is somewhat of a smaller deal in this region i think because we are in the salt belt. around pittsburgh its hard to even find a RUNNING car for $1000 or less. not even mentioning the body condition.

 

$1000 = Hell no!
$500 = maybe
$free = sure.

the dent, the rust (which, is worse than you can see..trust me) and the oil/coolant issue. you can do better on a budget. i bought a caprice sedan for $500 and put $600 into it. and it was right as rain. $600 was
1. new (recycled) opti
2. new rear brake line
3. 4 tires
4. new front pads.

if you find something up my way i'll go look for ya.

like this...i want to see pics of this!

quick question. the wagon has either 14 or 15 inch rims. i pretty sure there 15 though. i have a set of 16 in cragers that should fit. how would i got about making it so those would work?

 

I think you're gonna find that they're 14 inchers.......

rear-drive Cragers are not going have the correct offset for this front-driver.

 

your probably right. and you have a good point, didnt even think about that ah well, figured id ask though!

 

smoothies. something i found today that i want. i checked and there suppose to fit. be known though, these would just be the first step after i fix the rust, dent, and everything else already wrong. these would come in as i start "making the car my own". this would consist of : tinting the windows, putting a radio in with a cd player & audio plug in, repainting, brighter light bulbs, fog lights, and deep DEEP cleaning of the interior. i also may wanna put it on air bags at some point. anybody know anything about them? those are in no particular order. now, with the wagon, im going for these upgrades to give it more of a "meaner" look, not "pimp" or "gangsta", cause when i say i wanna tint the windows alot of people automatically think i want it to be "gangsta". oh, and dont worry, none of that hippty hoppity slang will be played on the radio

american racing also sells these^

 

Six lugs....
Those are not going to fit on the A-body wagon.

 

:banghead3: your right! its a 5 lug!:banghead3: did not even notice that. but needless to say, i want smoothies for the wagon.

 

It might be tough finding smoothies with the FWD offset...

Wheel Vintiques has a couple of options, but I don't know if they have the proper bolt pattern.

another thing im considering. because after the rust is fixed, it will need repainted.



horrible photoshop skills. i know. but you get the just of it. repaint it Black. heres a black century.
