So i just wanted to share some progress pics of my little red wagon and the journey we've been on so far and soon to come.

Here is the pretty lady with some new shoes! She'll be getting the headliner fixed and tints soon.

This took some time being done in my apartment parking lot with spar tire jack

So far the majority of the work is under the skin, such as all new KYB shocks (the rears were... difficult, to say the least), rear progressive rate springs, and all new moog drag link steering components. Even though none of this work is visible on the outside, the ride and handling has improved a million times over.

Here is a little peak at the rear suspension work I've done from the outside,

And from underneath.

Some of the work that will be done in the next week or so will be new front brakes, air lift air bags in the rear springs, and a trailer brake controller for some towing needs. What will I be towing you ask?

A 1985 Porsche 944 that my friends and I will be racing in the 24 hours of lemons this summer. I'm glad my little red wagon has the factory towing package because it is our official lemons tow vehicle!

Well thank you for taking the time to look and I'll try to remember to keep taking pictures as I go and update!

Great tow rig...the two of them together will make for a good picture.
