It's a photoshop of my wagon.

I shortened it and flipped the quarter window upside down.

Here's the UN-edited photo:

You're out of control.

I'll buy the second one you make. Yes, I was dropped on my head as a kid.

I like it! Too bad there is no W123 hatchback. I was thinking that person with the rear-ended coupe should do something like that.

Okay, who is going to make it first?

Now, a two door wagon with the regular C-pillar would look uber cool!

There should be more crazy engine swaps with the OM617. I'm sure it would fit into a Pacer! I saw an old lady driving a completely mint brown Pacer once, it was amazing . Even more amazing it was not rusty, and why would the owner hold onto her Pacer?

I would also drive that Wagon too .

Wow ... after looking at the photoshops, my wagon looks about 40' long.

There you go! Now, the rear has a little too much over hang for the wheelbase. If you shorten it up a little so that the rubber corner guard is about 1" to the rear of the fender flare,(like the front) it should be about perfect!

I think it looks a bit "Pacer"ish or "Pinto"ish now ... not that that's a bad thing.

You're right, a little too stubby now... Maybe move the wheelbase back to the same relative point and leave the longer length the same... Yeah, I'm bored today!
