September 13, 201213 yr Actually I found a pristine green wagon at Pull and Save Where is pull and save exactly? I need to go there. My local yard in Lewiston doesn't let you pull your own parts anymore .
September 14, 201213 yr Author http://www.pullandsave.com/home.htm Theres their website.. they have two locations. PnS North often has more subies... and if you're making the trip you may as well go to both. Last time we went, they let us into North for free because we had the stamps from the valley location. Good luck!
September 19, 201213 yr Sure is hard to beat factory original paint when you can find the replacement panels. Nice job on the car!

December 3, 201213 yr Author I need to find a roof rack for my car to help a friend move in January... So if anybody spots one lemme know ;-)
December 6, 201213 yr Author K so I got a standard roof rack off a car from the JY.. but mine has no threaded holes in the roof to screw it in to... so I need to figure out how to screw the roof rack into my roof without compromising the integrity of the roof or its watertightness. Any suggestions? I was thinking silicone or something... I just want to avoid leaks if I can...
December 6, 201213 yr do you have a pic of the setup that you got? dunno about attaching it, i'd make a platform or use an old futon frame or soemthing, then make some gutter mounts, here's a diy you could modify for the loyale http://www.jeepforum.com/forum/f11/homebrewed-gutter-mount-roof-rack-345020/ and bolt it to some cross bars.
December 6, 201213 yr www.rivetsinstock.com/rivet-nuts-threaded-inserts/ribbed-l-series.html You'll want to order some of these. I've used them for various jobs, and they do work well. Need to get some myself to install the Factory roof rack off the '92 onto my '88. Some type of sealant would be good to apply around all of the inserts, I'm not quite set on what to use yet. Many good types of sealants are out there. Still digging around on that myself.
May 14, 201312 yr Author Ended up returning the old rack because I didnt wanna wongleflute with drilling into my roof.. gonna find a gutter mount at some point.. just moved to Havre, Montana! Replaced my blown stock speakers with some stocks out of a legacy from the yard... and its looking like we're pretty much gonna have to do an engine overhaul sooner than later.. its leaking oil like a scyv and needs all the belts replaced. Other than that Rook is running great! Been getting roughly 30mpg still so no complaints for almost 210k!
August 4, 201411 yr Author Well at 229k Rook finally has left the land of the living. We've purchased a 98 Forester in order to get home. Hopefully Rook can be revived the next time we are back in Washington.... :-(

I mean uh er my condolences.
August 5, 201411 yr Author My father in law "offered" to have her crushed. :-( i said absolutely not. There's a perfectly perfect set of rear disks i have every intention of pulling off the old girl IF we Can't make her run again. So in short... Im willing to part out but not until i know she's dead dead. We'll see. Lol
