Greenley Posted October 10, 2009 Share Posted October 10, 2009 So i just picked this up thursday night : 1986 carbed d/r wagon 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greenley Posted October 11, 2009 Author Share Posted October 11, 2009 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greenley Posted October 12, 2009 Author Share Posted October 12, 2009 (edited) 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... =() Edited October 12, 2009 by Greenley Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greenley Posted October 14, 2009 Author Share Posted October 14, 2009 (edited) 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.
