Jibs Posted May 15, 2004 Share Posted May 15, 2004 Thats totally funny looking! I think you should go for it if the price is right. It's almost a collectors item by now! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moosens Posted May 16, 2004 Share Posted May 16, 2004 Yes Todd,I got it. Yeah,who's wagon is that?I'd rather have that but the 4door would work for say $100 or less. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thealleyboy Posted May 16, 2004 Share Posted May 16, 2004 Skunk: You might be surprised how easy it would be to get that thing running good again. The old school Japanese stuff made a lot of backyard mechanic types look like geniouses. Tune up stuff should be easy to come by. The more major parts might be a little more difficult to find depending on where you are located. I would get a fix on the car before trying to buy it. If its in original condition this is ideal. Just go thru one system at a time. If someone f*cked with it, you may have to backtrack a bit. It depends on your abilities and diligence. If you have both-go for it. good luck, John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
75skunkaroo Posted May 16, 2004 Author Share Posted May 16, 2004 everything on the car seemed to be original, and i think there was only one little dent(somewhere), and a crack in one tail lense:( oh, thats my red wagon:D -mike http://usmb.net/gallery/album250 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thealleyboy Posted May 16, 2004 Share Posted May 16, 2004 I'll betcha that car would clean up very nicely, and drive ok once you got the cobwebs out. The carb will probably be your biggest obstacle in getting it to run reliably again. I'd snag it for any kind of decent price. If the car doesn't work out, you would probably have a long line of derelicts who would be interested in the parts. good luck, John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sweet82 Posted May 17, 2004 Share Posted May 17, 2004 Its not a questions of, if you should pick it up or not. Seems as though price is the only real question? Buy that Subaru! Glenn, 82 SubaruHummer 01 Forester Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShawnW Posted May 17, 2004 Share Posted May 17, 2004 Brakes and fuel problems would be the hurdles on that, just depends on how long its been sitting and whether or not they stored it properly. (doesnt look like it). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

75skunkaroo Posted May 18, 2004 Author Share Posted May 18, 2004 oh, i met a guy with gen1 mudflaps(2) that i will prolly get along with some other stuff, in trade for bicycle parts, so we'll see whats in this "good sized" box later this week(taillights, dash stuff, other random gen1 parts). mmmmm stuff:D -mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bajavwnsoobnut Posted May 18, 2004 Share Posted May 18, 2004 yeah I would be saying the same thing man we should start puttin out feelers for parts for our gen 1-stage 1's especialy since it looks like there are at least 3 of us here in Oregon that have one 4wd wagon each (saw soobme's site and saw a 75-76 wagon in the background ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
