So i just picked this up thursday night :

 

1986 carbed d/r wagon

picture.php?albumid=149&pictureid=1726

 

It needs the drivers side CV replaced, and it doesn't idle right until it's warmed up, but other than that it runs and drives awesome.

 

i must admit, it felt nice to shift into 5th gear for the first time on the way home.

 

This will be fun to play with :grin:

Welcome to the dark side, its not too bad.

 

It's actually not, to my surprise.

 

I got it with the intent of robbing the 5sp D/R for my lifted wagon,

but power everything + an excellent heater is pretty nice for a change.

 

I wish i was close enough to drive it over to your place Jeff, for a lift.

 

It looks pathetic sitting on 185/75/13s. Must find a chopsaw!

EJ this thing instead!

 

too rusty... This'll get a cheap lift and beat to crap...

 

But i'm on the fence, i actually like it... it's got everything i want from the factory/

Do i find a nice EA82 to swap, or carry on with original plans on the lifted '84....

 

Damn temptation!

 

I'm contemplating selling out for options... =()

It's pretty horrible, but i can't expect too too much for $100.

 

No frame rot, but here's the worst of it after the screwdriver puncture test:

My GF officially claimed it as her wheeler, so a little grinding and primer is all it's gonna get from me.

Nice looking car. EJ it.

 

Funny how something so old can seem so new. Not sure what people like us would do with a real new car. lol

 

Your what!?!?!

What is this you speak of?
