February 9, 201412 yr First post so hello. Found this DL wagon in a local shed. It came with a spare 1.6 and I got it from the original owner who was using it as a daily driver from 1979 until 2011 !!!!! Andy
February 10, 201412 yr Nice! What are the Plans with it? Why it came with a Spare engine, is bad the original? Kind regards.
February 10, 201412 yr I think that's the third turd brown DL that someone has dug up in the last few months. Must have been a popular color! Great find! Looks like there isn't a whole lot of rust on it! It makes me so happy to see other folks getting into these cars!
February 10, 201412 yr Author The original engine is fine, just a little cansado. In the early 1980s, someone in town wrecked their Subaru so he bought the wreck and pulled the engine so he would have a spare. It's been sitting in the back of the wagon ever since! I'm just having fun driving it-no big plans.

For the record, it's gold not brown but your post is funny because we're calling it the Golden Turd. It's amazing. I've taken it through snow drifts that my honda fourtrax couldn't get through when I was feeding the horses in the pasture. They are a lot of fun to drive.
February 10, 201412 yr Author How many miles on the clock? 69k so that's gotta mean 169,000 I assume.
February 10, 201412 yr 69k so that's gotta mean 169,000 I assume. Unless it has turned back to Zero and started over again... like my '69 Mercury Coupe: more than four times and counting. Those cars' only count to 99,999 Miles. Kind regards.
February 16, 201412 yr Very Nice. Did you find that in Buena Vista? I have a ton of parts in Lyons (Northern Foothills) if you need anything let me know. what I got- http://s133.photobucket.com/user/suckerking/slideshow/gen%201%20parts Edited February 16, 201412 yr by the sucker king
February 17, 201412 yr Author Yes, found it in BV. It's very complete but I do need a couple of things. Passengers side rear view mirror. Interior plastic wheel well covers for rear wheels-mine are cracked. And small chrome trim strip that goes over the rocker panel one pass side (but either pass or drivers side will work). I'll get pix later
February 17, 201412 yr Let me know,please,the site of the Buena Vista. It's a mountain town in Colorado, USA. It is a very nice place.
