Hello forum, here with my 1995 roady wagon aka Quickssilver. Bought it from a fellow long roof/ISSF member in 08, sold her in '10 and bought her back the summer of '12! Looking to finish what i started, this wagon is the 4th ive ever owned(first RMW). Heres a small overview of her journey from start to finish

Her first bath, best 600$ ive ever spent! Prev owner from jersey(they actually sold me another caprice wagon same color 93 for 100 bucks)

Added a 4" cowl, but that plan didnt last too long

Finally added the 20" Boyd Slayers. this mod was a year in the making, had to add the 9c1 rear to make these fit because theyre off a truck. Plenty of folks told me they wouldnt fit even with the new rear because i needed adapters. But my math proved correct and i even had space left for wider tires Laughing

And how she sits today... Added an original SLP hood, i must say i like the look maybe not as much as my VFN just yet, but once its painted that may change

Also add the black bonneville seats and will go with a bravada console/shifter when i find one. Interior will be black/grey/suede. Shes still a work in progress but shes coming along slowly but surely. thanks for reading fellas!

Yeah tell me about lol and thanx. the boyds were 20 x 8.5 5x5.5 bolt pattern i never knew the backspacing or none of that. I remember folks on the forum telling me they wouldnt fit glad i just took the chance because ive gotten numerous pm's about the mod as others with wagons want to run wider wheels in the back and were nervous to do what i did

Yeah thanx man it really is an interesting journey with her. I was thinking of going with some hotchkis but i dont know if it will give me the raked look that i already kinda have. I might just stick with what i got these philly streets are rough on her suspension
