noblesablepuma Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 Hello USMB peoples. I'm new to this board and will probably be asking a number of questions in the future. I used to own an '86 GL Hatch 4wd that was just a blast. But some icy roads and shady driving killed that one. i just recently bought a '78 DL 4x4 Wagon that is in pretty good shape. (safer driving is the game plan) I'll be posting pics and questions on here in the next few months. It's a little cold to work on it here now (i live in CO) but i'm planning on putting in a EJ22 with a 5sp d/r 4wd sometime this spring. Hoping to keep a stock look but make it a fun driver. Anyways, that's what I'm up to. I'll let y'all know when I get the project rolling. Any tips advice would be appreciated or if you have any parts I might need, let me know. I'll start a build thread when I get things ready to go and I start buying/collecting parts. Cheers, -Dirk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

noblesablepuma Posted January 8, 2011 Author Share Posted January 8, 2011 Welcome Dirk... Thanks Pete. I'll get some pictures of mine up in a few weeks. I live in CO and the car is in WA right now. So i'm trying to get it out here. it looks like your '77 could be a nice little DD. 20yrs in a field never helps, but it looks like a fun one.

noblesablepuma Posted January 13, 2011 Author Share Posted January 13, 2011 Hi, hit me up if you need help/advice I am a half hour away. Awesome! thanks. I'll probably be starting things in the next couple months. But I have one question. I've found a couple 5sp d/r trannys in "good" shape with 170k mi for $250. Is that a good price? I'm starting to collect parts and I'm trying to get a good deal if I can. Also, any recommendations for yards to get parts from around the Denver area?
