June 28, 200619 yr I bought a 1988 GL Wagon, SPFI, 5spd, 4WD D/R today for $200. More Pictures Here... Its in pretty decent shape. The hatch is a bit dented, there's been some body work on the front left corner. Engine is in great shape. Only pressing issues I've found is that the rear tires are almost bald, and a boot on the front p/s axle is torn. Not too shabby for $200 I'll say.
June 28, 200619 yr If My Axle Boots On My Front End Have Been Torn Forever And Still Dont Tic Or Anything Do I Need To Replace Them, They Have Been Like That For Maybe 30,000 Miles
June 28, 200619 yr Author If My Axle Boots On My Front End Have Been Torn Forever And Still Dont Tic Or Anything Do I Need To Replace Them' date=' They Have Been Like That For Maybe 30,000 Miles[/quote'] If the boots are torn, I'd replace the boot before the joints start making noise. If nothing else, keep grease in the joints. the fi with the d/r. sounds like a snow rig to me! nice score! That's the plan!
June 29, 200619 yr Nice score Mike! So what's the plans for this one? If you need em I'll sell you my snow tires I had on a few different soobs for awhile for like $20 till you can get some other ones/decide what your going to do with the car. Scary running around with bald tires out here. Great snow tires, and still in good shape (less than 10-15k on them I'm pretty sure, full set of 4) on wheels ready to go taking up room in my shed. I just don't have anything I'll run them on atm. Though I may want your stock wheels for a trade in case I do want to grab another set of tires for the RX or future Soob, that's open for discussion though. Anyhoo that is a good score...how many miles on that baby?

June 30, 200619 yr warning thread hijack but yes you can on the ea81's it's a cake walk a little limited on space but it's doable
June 30, 200619 yr Really nice car Mike!I can't believe I didn't notice this post with the pictures before.I am sure pugs and a lift are eventually in the works? I am glad that you got an spfi engine in there to begin with so you don't need to muck with that later on.
July 3, 200619 yr Author New Hatch! Thanks to Jeff, I pulled a decently shaped silver hatch from a wagon at Pull n' Save. Before After
