Dude, you, me and alot of other people missed out on a killer deal yesterday. A friend of mine calls me and said his co worker is selling his 80 Corolla wagon cause he had to pay off some really bad people and was short $300. I couldnt leave work to give the guy the cash and my friend was broke and I called up everybody else I knew but no one couldnt or couldnt leave work to get it. The guy was really desperate and sold it to the junkyard for $150 and got another $150 somehow to pay off his debt to the people he owed. So this morning before work, I went to the junkyard and scored the quadheadlight front he had and some other things as well. But damn if I had the cash I would have bought it.
As for the rear suspension on the wagons, yea it sucks cause of the leafspring rear setup. But I just cut everything out and make my own brackets and 4links and panhard bar for the rear suspension and use AE86 springs and short strokes. And the front suspension is just a metter of taking out the TE72 and installing the AE86 stuff. But you will need to keep the TE72 top hats to bolt on the struts.
Its not that bad to modify, but alot of measuring and adjustments to get everything placed in straight. If you ever need any help, feel free to pm me.
