I'm not really knowledgeable about wheels and tires, but why is the rear tire so small relative to the rim?
I mean, there's a full inch between the edge of the rim and the rubber in the last picture.
Other than that, the wheels really do look quite nice. That's a gorgeous wagon, my friend.

I have not been able to find a pre cut cargo liner, performance only seems to offer universal but then cut mats. Have visited weathertech, have them in front of car.
I went ahead and paid the shipping, was too expensive, but I am done looking.
Already have a nice carpet liner back there, but wanted a rubber mudder.

There are 2 little red things under the seat that you pull towards you to lift the seat up. You can do one side at a time.
The seat is heavy, though. It actually has a steel/aluminum base!

Depends on the day
You get the seat up and you're welcomed by carpet. Can't figure out how to get below (without cutting the carpet) to get to the vacuum pump.

Hi there, just picked up a wagon myself and loving it. It's a 93' M104. It had a light front end hit so I have been attempting to massage the radiator support back into shape and straighten out the hood. I may end up just picking up new bits. Only thing left to get it road worthy is a fan clutch that doesn't cost an arm and a leg...

I have these on the silver wagon, and want them for the new wagon...has anyone seen them cheaper? I only want the LED version.

<note, I ordered a set, my last set cost about the same, I keep thinking these should come down but maybe they are too rare? Great, brighter light upgrade for the s124>

A question for the Kombi clan...
I picked up my black on black wagon, and am running it though some common upgrades on the way in.
I am going to paint the lowers immediately, since I always prefer that, and there are some rough spots on the bumpers anyway.
On an all black car, what do you think about the chrome or stainless? I painted over everything with the white Cab, but, have now reversed and brought back most chrome.
If you were painting a BLACK wagon's lowers, would you black out the whole car? I am inclined to leave chrome/stainless in place.
