Bucky Is On His Way 2 His New Home
Bucky92 replied to Bucky92's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
Came home from work and everything just felt and looked empty....the driveway.. I went out to the garage and there hung his old licence plates. But I do NOT regret my choice...John even said he thinks his Mom might take Buck over ..she had one just like him..so i will be curious at her reaction. I really need to find myself another one soon...can't see life without an EA82 -
Bucky Is On His Way 2 His New Home

Yes.. I was sad to see him go and the driveway seems so empty now...but like I told John and Jess.... I would rather see the car used then just sitting around..He still has some good miles left in him and for being an east coast car all his life..is in pretty good shape. It was kinda hard yesterday when I was washing him..telling him whats going on...but all if fine and he approved cause when John started him up to load him on the trailer...no ticky ticky and he just purred quietly. I had to laugh after warning John about the grabbiness of the new clutch;) Bucky couldnt have gone to a better home ..thats for sure..and I am happy about it! -
Sold for Grits and have pics to prove it...Backwoodsboy and Darlingchip just left to go back to NY after picking up Bucky.. They got tossed off the Taconic State Parkway for having a trailer but we were able to get them here.We loaded up the car..I fed them some slow cooker Chicken and Dumplins and we finished the deal. I hope they check in when they get back to let me know the trip went OK..anyway..here are the pics: Honestly...sold for grits: and the Buckster on the trailer:

This thread is worthless without pics! It all depends on the shape of your brat..they are becoming more desireable to collectors but you have to know over all condition...if its excellent and you dont want a show car..sell it to a collector..if it is in good shape but has some flaws..fix it up ...if it has some issues but basically is mechanically good...lift that puppy and make it into an offroader...like this ( this is backwoodsboys Brat he showed at the carlisle Import Car Show in May..one of my favorite lifted Brats):

Phil now come-on..its an EA82!!! unless you shot a piston out the motor somewhere..its fine..clean it out and toss a new pump on there.

What Could Cause a Stress Crack in Windshield?
Bucky92 replied to Bucky92's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
I will see how my paycheck looks this week with the OT if I dont try and get it done this week I will get it fixed next weekend...Its another one of my analocities ( Is that really a word?) I dont drive with cracked or broken windshields..so he is parked until its fixed. I honestly dont think I am going to have a problem with rust under...there has never been any leaks and all the seals are good....some sealer around a trim piece cause it was rattling .....I hope geesh..I said I wasnt dropping any more money into these crapheaps:-\ And now I will have to pay to get a new registration sticker also -
Whats wrong with my car?
Bucky92 replied to mrdeep2001's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
What GD said^ Its a FWD Sedan with body damage and a fuel/electrical issue..Not really worth a whole lot Think about this...I just GAVE away my 92 Loyale wagon with a ton of extra parts and alot of new stuff already on it..and it runs like a champ...basically needed axles and tires...I started asking around $300 Your best bet would be craigslist honestly -
Coming home from work today in Rocky ( the XT6 out for his once a week run) out of nowhere..his windshield just cracks...nothing hit it no hard bumps ..it just cracked..about 8 inches long right from the bottom left side. I had the windows open..cause it was hot today ( car temp was saying around 92 )..The only thing I can think of is maybe his frame is starting to buckle...But I have seen worse without a problem like this...so what else could have caused it? I already priced a new one ( $250-$300 ) but I dont want to put a new one in until I know why this happened. Any Ideas?? Just my luck huh?:-\

I had the same problem with my XT6 ...or at least similar...The passenger side floor would fill up with water..and it ended up being allowed to do it for so long that it smelled like a cat littler box inside and had mold everywhere ( This was before I got it..I just got left with the problem) Mine only happened when I had to run the AC...had a clogged drain hole in the box under the dash on the pass side...it would fill with condensation and eventually overflow. I first pulled the hose and no water came out..then I got a coat hanger and started to reem it out..pulled some really really nasty yucky stinky gross stuff out.Now it drains properly. Does your happen only with the AC or defroster on? or after it rains? ..that would be a help also trying to figure out the problem...when does it happen?

I Got My Hatch Wooooooh!!!!
Bucky92 replied to subaruguru's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
Hatch or Brat?? ( look at your title) and..get pics how many times do you have to be told:rolleyes: -
I want a lifted EA82 wagon:( They look so cool especially with some offroading lights on the front or across the roof.But every potential I find gets bought out from under me. Thought about lifting my Imp alittle ..but why dump money into a rotbox. I want to see pics of it playing in the snow when you get some! Looks great!

34th Annual Halloween Party!
Bucky92 replied to Seahag1978's topic in Meet n' Greet. Your USMB Welcome Center
Got the directions ..its only about 3 and a half hours from me...I may even bring up Rocky....Oh...Bump for Marys party! -
Cleaning the IAC is soober easy..pull it out and just spray it with brake cleaner until it runs clean..you can even soak it in brake cleaner ( just watch the electricals) I know Jim probably fixed the CTS so that shouldnt be a worry. The "crunchy" shifting...My XT6 is like that abit too..but I dont have any slop but its a very tight shift...arent these trannys unsycronised? I am going to try the cocktail on mine maybe this winter. IF you think the coil is a problem...the XT6 takes the same as a regular EA82 ..I am running my Loyales spare in mine Do not fret...Ruby Sue is a good girl..she is getting used to you and learning you...I went through the same with Rocky. Took some time some swaring so threatening...but he is finally..a complete gentleman.( 100% turn around from wanting to push his carcass off a cliff..engulfed in flames huh:lol: )
-
I thought about snagging this...but it would just sit here and rot cause I would never get around to it...It would be the perfect candidate for an EJ swap though:grin: I wouldnt waste my time with an EA82T ...but thats just my opinion..only cause I have read far to many problems with them.
