Jerry DeMoss Posted June 22, 2007 Share Posted June 22, 2007 Thats a great looking little wagon! You will really love how durable that car is and decent gas mileage you can't beat the whole deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zyewdall Posted June 22, 2007 Share Posted June 22, 2007 Nice. Almost the same as my '82 wagon. Except mine doesn't have the bull bar on the front. Is the trailer hitch just attached to the bumper, or does it go back to the subframe in the back? Z Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nate007 Posted June 22, 2007 Author Share Posted June 22, 2007 The hitch bolts through the bumper to the frame, so I won't yank the bumper off when i'm out there pulling my buddies out of the sand EDIT: I found out it needs a new CV, head gaskets, a few new hoses, and some minor wiring cleanup, and a new set of tires(they're all pretty bald). should be on the road in a week or so!

P K Posted June 23, 2007 Share Posted June 23, 2007 Nice find! As soon as you get her smogged and registered its time for a lift and pug tires. It's got a 3rd eye and A/C! wow it's loaded! Hope to see ya up in the mountain trails sometime. What what? I thought A/C and the third eye didn't mix because of the condenser in front of the radiator. I guess I am wrong... Anyone confirm this? anyone? Bueller? BTW, great find, looks to be in fine condition and should be a keeper. r/ PK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nate007 Posted June 23, 2007 Author Share Posted June 23, 2007 yes, I'm finding out that this is a rare little gem. 1.8 dual range, 5spd, AC, third eye spot. I really want a lift on this as well as some big tires and 15'' wheels as well as some off-road lights and a winch on the front bar. was also thinking about a weber and an electric supercharger... But I have to get her running first:-\ Already working on getting the motor out to repalce head gaskets and timing belts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skip Posted June 23, 2007 Share Posted June 23, 2007 She's a beaut! Nate but you are going to get some comments on this statement "working on getting the motor out to repalce head gaskets and timing belts" That is going to a TAll order for the parts person.

Skip Posted June 23, 2007 Share Posted June 23, 2007 If Autozone has timing belts for an EA81 well, okay. Good luck replacing them. You can down load HTKSA. You might want to read the chapter on engines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
