My best of wishes to your parents.
Try car-parts.com i used that site and searched for the seats. Got them for 100 with the double door center consoler and paid another 250 in shipping.
What did you do to your wagon today?
Hello everyone I know this has probably been done before but I would like to start a thread so everyone can post what they have done or are doing to their wagon. I hope I can get this thread going so that we can all get ideas from each other. What I would like to see is a picture of everyones wagon and what your are doing to to or what your are planning to do.

My Gen 1 is back on the road again after a year in the weeds after someone managed to hit one of the front tires in a parking lot, which wrecked the steering rack.
I finished the install of the new rack and pinion and tie rod ends, and since I had to take the exhaust off to get the rack out, I had all the broken hangars and holes welded. I'm not in a hurry to get it to a shop right now with the pandemic blowing up where I live so I did the front end toe alignment with a tape measure in a flat parking lot. I was able to dial it down to 1.5/16" of toe-in measured at the tire treads - right at the -0.100" alignment spec. When it gets into the shop it'll be interesting to see how close I really got it.
Drove it around for about an hour just burning old gasoline and I've missed this thing. It's good to be back.

I'm curious what a good wood carver could do in respects to carving out a stock looking bumper!Obligatory:

Yeah they seem to forget that the salt melts the cars; not just the ice. I swear it's the auto-retailers driving them damned trucks. I was pizzed when a salt truck sat right next to my car for several minutes with the salt spreader running; alerted by the sound of tiny rocks hitting sheet metal I peeped out the window. Late at night, by the time I got some clothes and shoes on and went out there, he had just moved on.
The following products seem to work okay. Try to drive-to-dry when possible. But driving to dry on salty roads defeats the purpose. If it's going to sit wet anyway due to rain, may as well hose'em down for the night.

Found a Mazda Protege 5 in the yard and yanked the strut tower bar. Wasn't sure if it would fit so I tried it out on a ZX2 that was in the yard. Seemed to fit pretty close with minimal modding so I bought it and installed it. I had to cut off a couple of tangs that were attached to the passenger side bracket to clear the windshield washer reservoir.
