My Wagon wedge Project

The car has been given to me by my dad and this was our first family car and decided to sell it for only 25,000php but I changed my mind to keep it and restore it.

The car has a 13T stock engine with W50 tranny. Last run before I restored it was 140km/hr

1st phase of restoration:

Replaced all 4 doors to make it lighter
Fenders just rapaired bec I had a hard time looking for a new one
Running Board replaced
removed some Rusty parts

2nd Phase:

Just decided to install a power steering and because it's cool to have a sunroof, just bought one for my wagon

Sunroof was perfectly installed and U know what??? NO LEAKS!!!

I found a better front bumber however needed to do some minor repair and put some fiber glass just to make it look better

polishing the roof so that it will look good for paiting purpose...

Thanks for viewing

enjoy!!!

Bec Im a fanatic of 20V, I decided to buy 1 to replace my 13T. got the engine from a province and good thing I got it for a best price.

this 20V plan was discontinued due to a lot of reasons...

engine can't give a right torque for the weight of the car

engine needs overhauling
need to get a RWD tranny
a lot of convertions...

Very cool! :tu:

But why do you keep calling the engine 13T?

I just sold the 4AGE Silver top and rebuilt my 13T to 3TC with twinside webber.

You have a hydraulic car lifter in your garage? How much did you get that for? and from where?

Dope ride! :mrgreen:

Needs lowered a bit IMO and I would've kept the roof rack, but that's just me. I would love to have a wagon that nice!

thanks bro! yeah! but I have to convert my shocks in front to an adjustable one, like placing a coilover.
