Okay ive been a bit slack and i missed the cruise but ill def be coming to the next one for sure!

But not much has changed, had some rust repairs done to the rear of the rear wheel arch's to get her a warrant.
attached my new boot lid which i got thanks to Brendan :thumbsup:
yesterday i put some 2" blocks in the rear which makes it look alot better but now my diff sometimes hits the tunnel of my car lol
getting lowering springs for the front to bring it down to match the rear, hopefully it will even it out and the diff wont hit?

but next thing on my list is paint, my paint at the moment is chipping off and i can see metal so sometime this summer ill sand it all back and repaint only im not sure what color would suit the best.
was thinking to repaint it the original crystal blue

Im not really sure, i was just gonna keep the standard ones for now but i was thinking maybe to get them widened and lower profile tyres so they dont look so balloony lol
but id love to have any decent looking JDM dish, they always work well

awesome wagon Alex! I love it and im sure it looks even more like my old wagon with my old wagons hatch on it ^_^

what colour are you going to paint it?

A factory 910 colour i hope.

When i had my 910 i wanted to widen the steelies too! it must be just because the factory 910 steel wheels with chrome trim and hubcaps are so sexy :couple:

Yeah, i love the look of the standard wheels only im missing one chrome trim and one hubcap which makes it look a bit shit on one side lol.
ideally i'd like to buy 4 new chrome trims because mine are all a bit dinged up from previous owners

Im going to repaint it the original crystal blue it came out with factory :thumbsup:
