1992 cav rs wagon rebuild and redo

happymanpa

Well everyone as it seems to be the thing to do lately im rebuilding a 92 wagon. Why a wagon? because i love wagons and think they get very very little love. so i picked her up a few months ago RS trim v6 powered 53k on the odo so engine mods will be very few if any. i have alot of ideas so we will see how they go. picture time!!

i wanted a wagon for a long time myself, found it on craigslist for 1200 ad said it didnt start. so i went out that night and grabbed it, the guy said it had a bad fuel pump however the needle was showing below E. well long story short gas engines need gas to run, put gas in it and it fired right up.
well was working on it today and here is where i got
and i know the red looks orange but that was just the light

Its going to be sweet to see the Z24 wheels on the wagon.

I could of gotten the same wheels for mine, but I decided they weren't worth it for my car since I probably need new tires plus the cost of wheels (which is $50 at the local yard). Good luck on the wagon, I'll be checking this thread when you get some more pictures.

i have alot of plans for it, so progress will be slow. Next thing im looking for is a set of phase 2 z24 bumpers for it.

I got another compliment for my wagon yesterday. Cool

I wish more people would do this to their Cavalier wagons.

Their was one other guy I seen that had a red cavalier wagon with a full Z24 kit, hood and wheels, but he decided he didn't want it anymore so he wrecked it. It was such a waste, he could of sold it to someone else instead.

I can't wait for the update

i seen you put the z bumpers on yours i know the front will bolt right up but my question is how bad was the rear?

The rear bumper wasn't bad, but you do have to cut some of the bumper off to make it fit, the part near the wheel wells and I put 2 screws to make it hold better. It does set lower than a normal Z24 though, the front bumper was a piece of cake, it think its about 15 bolts and it comes off. For the side skirts, I cut off the door skin part and just bolted the bottom part to the bottom of my doors, I had them on like that since 2008 and they haven't fallen off yet

updates are slow at best, but i got the rack dropped down and the heater box out. Cleaned up the box and will be starting to put it all back together this weekend. problem is updates will be slow till the end of next month because i go on vaca next month and all the cash goes there for now. but picture time
