my new to me 95 wagon thread.....

this is week five of this flu that has been tormenting me, two rounds of anitbiotics, and nothing seems to work. Going to see my doctor again in the am, hope that he comes up with something better cause this flu is really doing a number on my stamina and is cutting into my time wagon time.

since the wagon came home from the etest and safety check, all I've done was to put my plates on it and pulled the middle seat out and stripped the covers off them and washed the covers and also pulled the middle seat belts and washed them too. dunno what was spilt on that seat and the belts but it was nasty and the rinse water looked like thick black coffee but did not smell like coffee......

but the seat now looks like new and smells like downy

can't wait to do the front seats and carpet

Downy Fresh!!



Get well soon though...

Chris

Downy softness not snuggle

here is a before



and after

Wow, looks great!

Wow..you were not kidding about the bumper...

Hey! How do you like that fabric garage? Ive been thinking about one since it will be a long while before I get a permanent structure

you mean the snow shelter? meh it's ok

I've been busy this week end.....pulled out the front seats and carpet...




all the floor needed was to be washed to clean up the sticky coke stains....
rust free rules!




I then power washed the carpet




while the front seats where out I took em apart and tossed the seat covers into my washing machine.





once the carpet dried out it was time to put things back together









it smells a whole lot better, the seats are nice and downy soft....

Wow! Looks great Pat...clean too!!

What did you do with the carpet backing/ insulation? Did you keep it on?

Chris

it's still there chris. it was ok and did not get too wet and was dry by the time I put it back in

Looking good, Pat!
Great idea and well-executed.
What's next?

I think it would looks great with 15" Rally II rims and redlines.....

Wow, I can't wait to have a bladder incident in it now! When are we going for a ride?

I love the shaker plate idea! LOL!

Hmmmm did some one say SHAKER.............

I say DO IT

Ah people, the location of the engine under the hood vs eye pleasing location of the shaker on the b body hood just don't line up.

this would better suit the LT1's cold air needs

Can you explain this a little better?

with the maf against the TB,,. shaker scoop in upper and lower pieces. top of the inrake is a pefect platform to work off already has drilled and tapped holes for a base piece,., square filter in the shaker,
I think it,d look really good,.

^ What he said.

in my mind the engine sits too far back in the engine bay for the shaker to work right

then if I cut up a hood for that mod then it would be lost with out these in the fenders

that all depends Jimbeau

Those seats came out so clean that the armrest looks filthy now! Nice work, Pat!

Looks REALLY good!!

He was born to do laundry.

If they can make a shaker for a 2004-06 GTO you can fit one on that wagon!

The GTO engine sits a lot further back.

well in your mind,. pat malkovich..

see above pic,. shaker is almost at the cowl,. set back motors denote fast cars,.

as i said the whole top of an lt1 intake would be perfect for putting a shaker scoop on,. even if the shaker wasn't the actual air intake for the motor, add a little vacuum flapper door and it would be over the top cool,.

Have you done the home plate delete yet?? if not go peek at some pics of an lt1 with all the factory plastic off the motor,.hockey puck etc,.
A decent exhaust decent cold air intake and a good tune,. will pick up 25+hp on an lt1 easy enough,.

True, but you also lose the same % in MPG's too.

cos you,re foot is in it?? if not its because you have a mail order "safe" tune,.

Nick

Not with Pat, Robert. Foot in it?

Nonsense!

Scoob tune (95PCM in a 96 chassis) and cruise set at 75, I get 18MPG.

As for keeping my foot out of it, I am quite familiar with the pedal travel....

You can do this Pat.

Pat I have a set of those fender vents I paid $45 for them. I can paint them to match your ride and bring them to WF for you Say for $60. Also I took the mesh out of them and still have them but I was lookig for honey comb mesh for them.

Oh yes,... and guy's wait until you see the rim set up I have for Pat. Hopefully it will be done by next week. Got a few things to work on before I get to play with my ideal.

that'd be a better pic,.

Pat go to amazon autos and enter GM style hoodscoops and check these out.Prices seem to be
very reasonable compared to magazine prices.

Pat just to be different doesn't the oldsmobile have a different style rear bumper cover. You know with a flare at the bottom of it? Also my brains on overtime and I was thinking about the sides of your car too,... what about grafting in some grooves into those doors like the newer style bonneville's have? We could always use a bead roller to make some piece's and weld them in?

well last friday I put the turbines on the wagon...

Then on the first road trip ....

Ouch! They looked good while it lasted!

They do look good! Sorry about the blowout...hope everything else was ok!

wowsers!

I love those rims. sorry about the blowout.

Wow that sucks.

That's what he gets for buying 'Sesame Street' brand tires.

what was the date code on those tires?

.............. or ran over a nail and ran the tire slack until the sidewall overheated and disintegrated......

did you dent the rim?

Looks like some sort of sudden impact damage and not a gradual loss of air pressure!
IMHO
