Talk to me.....

Victim:1987 S/R 5spd Turbo wagon from outer space I've got a clutch kit,rear main seal,sweet flywheel from Skip also to be installed.With that said,can I do all this with just yanking the tranny back?Drop the exaust?Not drop the exhaust? I just started taking stuff off tonight.I'll be all over it tomorrow weather permitting. My current plan was to jack the motor-unless my friend comes through with the lift-roll the motor forward,then lower the tranny with it's crossmember and lower it as I back it off the front crossmember. Also noticed the power steering pump mounting bolts are way under the intake.Do you guys disconnect the lines if you're not lifting the intake?I normally put an EA82 n/a power steering pump off to the side when lifting.But,if I don't have to lift to swap the tranny,etc........ Any advice appreciated.

THere's one in Milford,CT The house is "not fit for occupancy". The car is covered with mold.THe seats are wasted.Sunroof-looks non factory-apparently leaks. That funky metalic light green with light brown interior. Seats were formerly known as the Bay City Rollers stage wear.(plaid). Has wagon wheels and a roof rack also.Evenhas the chrome wheel trim rings. I have no idea if I'll even be able to get this but it sure looks obtainable.The property has been looking like a junkyard for years.This is the last car.Been sitting there for a few years now.

I am first in line for a blue dashboard....got it? Seriously,that's the one piece I'd run you off the road for...just kidding again.....but I'm really in need of one in excellent shape.Yours look far worse than mine but that's Florida. I've got a heap of stuff,as does Subaru3 and a few others.Let me/us know if we can help. If you go to restore it be sure to email me.If you just want to use it for a while be sure to let me know when you're all done with it.

Yes Kurt,and I'll cover shipping. Andy,still waiting to see about the NOS,where there's a set of new H style caps.Hang tight,I'll know by the week's end. Mick,thanks!We'll talk.....and now someone else wants the '73!!! Freakin timing!! northguy,have grey handle backers,and mirror for sure. Be sure to email.Let me get the paid for stuff out and then I'll get yours.Actually,it might go out soon since its all sitting there....or was. Thanks everybody!

Kurt-slider Mark?-hatch seats ...and then I have a few smaller items.****All going out this week or early next week FOR SURE!!**** You guys who were talking trades to me,let's get back on the same page.I may have to drop out or re-negotiate due to parts missing,etc. Looking forward to the "mythical"clean slate. ....and good ol' Witte,your stuff is coming as well.

quad lights do not necessarily mean a GL as there were quad lights on Standard models as well. Be sure to email me when you want to let it go. A67L-etc. is a 4WD wagon Post on the board or email as you see what parts youy need.I'll be rounding up some donor cars in the next month or so. Good luck and welcome to the club!!!!

nice score,nice place.

my d/r was doing 4400 @95mph just yesterday. so stay away from 4k...... typically-70mph = around 3200 or so. Just chill out and keep the license for a bit.Save it for the track!

Let the forward line drain down,there's not much in there.Then make sure you have your new pump ready.Take the feed line off the old pump and don't waste any time.Slam it on the new pump and you'll be done before you can bitch about it.Put your thumb over the end for that second or two if needed.You'll be fine. Got an extunquisher?

Sorry,I know I blew you off.Call tonight in afew minutes up to 11pm or tomorrow. Was at the shop today all afternoon.

:clap: Go Qman!!!! Good job big E...can't wait for pics.

What is this?The Pennsylania Gadget Masters Club? Install Da Bomb,install Da Bomb!!!

Saturday was a total kid-honey do-day....a.k.a. washout!!! Sunday I have the whole day.....as of this minute.Call my cell phone anytime after 9AM or earlier if you did get ahold of her and need to go early.Doesn't matter to me,an earlier start is fine if needed.Or if you get her on Sunday call me and I can probably go with no trouble.Just give me a good 30 minute lead,which is about what it'd take for you to get down my way anyways. Otherwise I'll be heading to Northford as early as possible to pick up my s/r 5spd.Then it's back to the shop and start working.Probably doing small jobs like brakes and oil change on my touring wagon....or if you stop by we'll attack the heap....we'll see.No pressure to come down.The weather is nice and we all have things to do. I have a fairly free week ahead of me with the exception of some tile work,painting,plumbing,installations....the usual.

And I want to know that the elevator "up-down arrows" switch is for.

Manuals at the hell hole-er uh,workshop.... Good guess huh? My dad had an '81 wagon.That big oval six star gives it away to me,as well as the rounded ends.

Guessing 1980-81 I'll get those manuals back later next week.I'm working on the NOS purchase bigtime now.I got a call from THE MAN and he's willing to negotiate a little.Hang tight my bruthuh!!

Isn't it in Clifton,NJ? Can't be any worse than Bridgeport.Nothing like Sunday morning driving.No trafiic through NYC!!!! Balls out,coffee spilling,no troopers on the roads.Talk to me.I compliment a good "Skipisode".LOL We love ya Skip.

ok,but you lost me on that one.....please explain Mr.Spock.

10-4 good buddy!

Hmmm,I could blow off a day of laboring on a Sunday for getting Skip's beer wagon....thinking....I probably have at least one duty to fulfill. Next week looks open,but things change fast around here.

Too much real work this week. Saturday is out. Sunday has possibilities. Not sure what I've got for work next week but I'll more than likely have at least one day "free".

#1-Who's up for a sloppy Pine Barrens run before the sun dries up all the fun? #2-I'll be doing the old free parts grab and meet at my place first hint of warm temps. #3-the PA Yard run we never got in before old man winter came to town.Not sure how soon I can swing it but just want to see who's still game.

Bump. Been working...looking at next week.Call/email if you can make it.

Pretty cool Bubba Brat. What's that wheel in the bad?Has4 lug pattern and lots of holes.
