well been doing some body work on wagon, mainly fixing some little rust spots and found out that after everything i was told by the guy i got my wagon from that my grille and lights don't line up and fit as the rad was not swaped over like he said it was, so now looking at swaping the whole front end back over from the tf tg that i have on to the td front........



will have some more pics up soon.
