You are a man of obvious taste, as china blue is the only real color for a wagon.... I installed three rear seats in my wagons, and it's not a huge deal. If you get stalled just ask us here. No headrests either- kinda block rear views anyways. Glad to have another wagon owner aboard.

I've got the Blue MBTex interior. I hope that I can get my paint to buff out, I won't look nearly as good as yours, but I'm thinking I can get it presentable until I'm ready to do a quality repaint.

What grade bio-d are you running? Did you change out all of your fuel lines and gaskets? I had been considering running B5 but a quite a few people have me thinking it's not a good idea as is (I've got farm roots so it's as much a pro-Ag mindset as anything else).

No such thing as a quality repaint without spending very large $. The original paint job is a very very good paint job. Try this stuff at auto detail shops for your tired paint- and use a clay bar also and you'll be very happy.

Thanks for the paint help, MTU (and for the help offer on the 3rd seat install). I will look for that Rejuvenator. I've got a few bubble spots near the wheel wells and one on the front lower fascia that I'm hoping I can match close enough to pass for now or I might take it to a shop and have them fix them right and hope I can bring the rest of the paint back. I know very well the cost of a good paint job!
