Wow that is some good stuff.I like your improved stuff and as for the seats covers where did you get the covers.Reason I ask on mine the drvr side seat is split in the cloth and finding a place with a exact match for me to recover it would be nice.Not a wagon guy but with what you have done it looks pretty nice and great work.NICE!!!! at least you can appreciate a 1st gen like WE do here.There is a reason for it being a 1st gen (first gens are the best at least TO ME).
Hey mr. Crashdummy. You had helped me a lot with my digidash install on v6z24. My name is cavalier3400z there. I don't me to hijack your post but I have everything working but the speedometer. I paid $140 for a new sensor and it still reads zero. Also did you ever try anything with those heated and vented seats the come in the new cars. I was thinking about installing a set but I don't know how the vent.
On the inside my car looks like a fighter jet.
sweet it even has a flat roof. lucky you. can't find solid wagons up here.... looks great, can't wait to see more pics
Glad to see a 1st gen wagon love.

The list of Wagon owners seems to be growing!!
WOW!!
...................where have you been hiding...LoL
I was already intrigued. Then I took a look at your other 2 wagons on your profile, seen all that you have been up to.
Simply.....AMAZING
4 87' cavaliers all blue interior , all the wagons are RS's and one Z24 - man you really know what you are looking for! To find a set of vehicles all like that had to be quite a feat!!
Some of your mods are so inspiring - such as replacing the prop rod with a liftgate strut!!
I had been pondering a sunroof down the road as well - your size (17" x 35") looks like it is just perfect for the wagons!
I really like those stock steel wheels too - are they 13"?? This gives me something to look forward to looking for down the road too!!
I'm just amazed by all you have and have accomplished. Hope you will continue to shower us with more photos of your work, as well as the other Cavaliers you have. You are very inspiring!!
Like you, I am in need of a headliner replacement too. Do you have any suggestions as to the removal and replacement of it? These are the biggest of them and I'm afraid of breaking it during removal and replacing. Was thinking about a sunroof when I go to replace the headliner. What might I be looking at for both if I have it done by a shop?
Thank You for sharing your cars and your work!!
That is the first cargo cover I've ever seen in a Wagon - didn't even know they had them....LoL
BTW - what color did you choose for your headlining material - looks like a very nice matchup!!
.
AWESOME.
I love restification threads. I love the wagon.
I actually saw a chevrolet celebrity wagon yesterday with similar rims in black and silver. I am going to get me a eurosport one of these days...

thanks!
My 87Z has the same seats so I just swaped the cloth over on the passenger side and cut and sewd in replacement panels where needed on the drivers side. I will be putting a leather interior in the Z when I restore it
I agree the First Gens are the best gen, the first car I drove was my mom and dads 84 cavi. I did a few mods to that thing too.. lol
the first car i owned was my 87Z

Hey!
naa done worry about the hijack your good.
if you want give me a call at my shop this afternoon or tomorrow and we can talk it over, the #'s are on my website.
The factory cool seats are way too expensive to play with and they have modules that plug into the BCM.
There are aftermarket cool seats out there but are not reliable.
Heat seats are no problem in anything cloth or leather

YES! me too! In all the wagons I have looked at, have seen online, and owned, not one has had the cargo cover. Also, another oddity was that this one did not come with the cargo area dome light. Every one I have see had this.
It is so close you would think its factory, the color is Navy Blue

Yes, those rims are on the Celebrity's too, I like them too! I have had 3 of them, one wagon, (Yes I love wagons) and Two eurosports. Those cars fly with the 2.8 and a few small mods!
Lately I have seen more then a few Cutlass Ciera Wagons, Im wondering where have these been coming from??

Next to White, it's my second favorite color.
Where did you get the chrome rocker covers? Never seen them before on a J.

I have a pair on my Hawk, plan on taking them off this year, interested?
Came standard on Verts and l on Type 10's ,,, You can take the black painted ones and strip the paint off with paint remover and polish them up.
John Masson (84conv) wrote:I got two painted rocker moldings to experiment with. The one on the right was painted and it now looks like new except for the three dings. These are 100% better than the ones I now have on the brown Cav. If anyone is interested I used paint stripper to remove the paint. Then I used a three step buffer wheel that I got at Home Depot to polish them. Next step was metal polishing cream from Walmart and used this MULTIPLE times and finally wax. I am going to try this with some painted wheel moldings next.
How'd you get the Styrofoam from the headliner so clean ?
I couldn't get all of the old foam backing from the fabric off of the styrofoam when I did my headliner, so now I have to take it out to recover it again.
If you have any tips on how to get the fabric to stick better (especially in the heat of the sun), it would be greatly appreciated.
Oh, and by the way, nice wagon ! You're giving me a couple of good ideas for my Swaggin' !
