Wasteland Posted November 13, 2004 Share Posted November 13, 2004 I just got back from the local police auction where I scored a '85 GL Hatch for $5! They said it had a bad tranny, you know the kind that makes the drivers side axle spin in the hub:brow: . So I put some gas in it, threw it in 4lo and drove it home. It's got 115k, push bar,and rear cargo cover (needs recarpeted but is intaked). The body is mostly rust free, exept the drivers door and rear quarter panel where it was hit and someone tried to pull it out and botched the job. I'll be gutting most of it and doing some sawsall action on it. "Bratchenstein":headbang: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wasteland Posted November 14, 2004 Author Share Posted November 14, 2004 On a side note. I have bought a couple with that same bad tranny. Ya, this is the third "bad tranny" I've recovered. what are you going to do with that pushbar. got plans for it or what? I'm keeping the push bar for the Brat but it does have a good element in the rear glass ifn you want to replace yours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wasteland Posted November 14, 2004 Author Share Posted November 14, 2004 It just keeps gettin better.....I found a craftsman 1/2 breaker bar in the rear cargo area, under the spare and a bunch of garbage. Man this is the best $5 I've spent in a long time! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
