Jerky Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 First post so hello. Found this DL wagon in a local shed. It came with a spare 1.6 and I got it from the original owner who was using it as a daily driver from 1979 until 2011 !!!!! Andy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loyale 2.7 Turbo Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 Nice! What are the Plans with it? Why it came with a Spare engine, is bad the original? Kind regards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sjschlag Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 I think that's the third turd brown DL that someone has dug up in the last few months. Must have been a popular color! Great find! Looks like there isn't a whole lot of rust on it! It makes me so happy to see other folks getting into these cars! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerky Posted February 10, 2014 Author Share Posted February 10, 2014 The original engine is fine, just a little cansado. In the early 1980s, someone in town wrecked their Subaru so he bought the wreck and pulled the engine so he would have a spare. It's been sitting in the back of the wagon ever since! I'm just having fun driving it-no big plans. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For the record, it's gold not brown but your post is funny because we're calling it the Golden Turd. It's amazing. I've taken it through snow drifts that my honda fourtrax couldn't get through when I was feeding the horses in the pasture. They are a lot of fun to drive.

Jerky Posted February 10, 2014 Author Share Posted February 10, 2014 How many miles on the clock? 69k so that's gotta mean 169,000 I assume. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loyale 2.7 Turbo Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 69k so that's gotta mean 169,000 I assume. Unless it has turned back to Zero and started over again... like my '69 Mercury Coupe: more than four times and counting. Those cars' only count to 99,999 Miles. Kind regards.

I have a ton of parts in Lyons (Northern Foothills) if you need anything let me know. what I got- http://s133.photobucket.com/user/suckerking/slideshow/gen%201%20parts Edited February 16, 2014 by the sucker king Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerky Posted February 17, 2014 Author Share Posted February 17, 2014 Yes, found it in BV. It's very complete but I do need a couple of things. Passengers side rear view mirror. Interior plastic wheel well covers for rear wheels-mine are cracked. And small chrome trim strip that goes over the rocker panel one pass side (but either pass or drivers side will work). I'll get pix later Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
