October 10, 200916 yr 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
October 11, 200916 yr Welcome to the dark side, its not too bad. You wont have Rear axle trouble anymore!!!! Jeff

October 11, 200916 yr Author 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!
October 12, 200916 yr It would be like a 12 hour drive and a 4 or 5 hour install.............. thats just a good weekend.................. BTW you are more than welcome to come up at anytime to Washington and come Wheel with us!!!! Jeff
October 12, 200916 yr Author 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, 200916 yr by Greenley

October 14, 200916 yr Author 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.

October 15, 200916 yr Nice looking car. EJ it. Funny how something so old can seem so new. Not sure what people like us would do with a real new car. lol Your what!?!?! +1 What is this you speak of? Edited October 15, 200916 yr by Psyko
October 16, 200916 yr Author Your what!?!?! Read: my GOODfriend (who's really not that good at all) Quick one for somebody... Will an EA82 run with a broken/skipped passenger side timing belt?
October 17, 200916 yr Quick one for somebody... Will an EA82 run with a broken/skipped passenger side timing belt? Yes. It will run like ************, but it will run. -Bill
