Hey Duba-dudes,

Have got an old MY wagon for sale. Its life story is as follows...

Bought by the bloke I bought it off in 1984 as his work car and used it for that purpose till july last year when the clutch crapped itself. Now he was a chippie and I think he beat it with every piece of timber that he got his hands on, the inside and outside are in bad shape and while he got the clutch fixed one of the seals immediatly blew out and he decided to sell it. I bought it only for the purpose to take out the air-con for my brumby which I have finally gotten around to. It has been named 'the poo' due to its condition and its beige colour.

The poos good points are..

New clutch, good gearbox (minus the busted seal), the moter is REALLY good - very strong and no leaks! It is also licenced (5 months).

The Bad points..

Pretty much everything else. Plus the air-con parts are missing. and no it doesn't have power steering.

Good car for someone who wants a cheap work car or parts for a dune buggy.

Oh yeah and I want $200 for it. Basically the price of the rego.

Any takers/Thoughts/Questions?

Cheers,

Corax.

i'll buy the cv joints if they are ok and if you wreck it. let me know:)

PM sent I will buy it

What are your plans for it ? I might be interested in the motor (EA81 ?) if my Brumby turns out to desparately need one.

funny about that I was going to get in touch with you via PM but I was called away by wifey

Im going to drive it if its drivable for a few days as my brumby needs a new clutch and of course there is a 225mm 21 spline kit or the 225mm 24 spline kit so Ive got to pull out the engine and then find out which clutch I need then order one in as nobody stocks one down here YAY

I went and picked up the baby poo brown subi this afternoon I must admit she looks alot better than the picture corax painted small dents here and there the standard issue rust but neat otherwise

Im going to drive her to work and back until my brumby has a new clutch then Im open to suggestions

TOONGA

well its amazing what a little rain and some degreaser does









Wifey said once the brumby is fixed it must go

so in about 2 - 4 weeks (hopefully sooner) Im looking at wrecking this one

and the numberplates are courtesy of Photoshop

TOONGA

for $200 you i cant go wrong. i wish i got in quicker for this would have made a wicked thrash car for me farm!!

That Wagon looks really good it would be shame to see it wrecked

looks can be very deceiving when you open the doors the full extent of the problems become very clear, Im sure if I pushed hard enough the drivers door would fall off the body, the brake booster at some point has decided to let go a heap of fluid and there is a mixture of paint, rust and brake fluid where the right chassis rail should be. the floor pan is in good condition, the engine runs but has 350000 kms on it, the cvs are there and the brakes help it stop eventually. it has the james bond gearbox (the seal has gone and the oil leaks onto the exhaust) there are little dents all over the body which are hidden by a good original coat of paint the photos make it look alot better that it is I think if I drove it to Perth that it would be a one way trip as Im not putting oil in the box again. the engine would probably get to 400000 km before it dropped its lollly

I could go on but for 200 dollars she will get me to school and back until the brumby has a new clutch

TOONGA

bumping

anybody down Australind/Bunbury way know where I can park the brumby for a few days (very cheaply) while I pull the engine work out which clutch it needs and wait for the new kit

TOONGA

clutch done on the brumby it was a 225mm 21 spline job now I just need to put in the lift kit mmmmmmmm fun

TOONGA

hey toongs, did you photo shop the number plates on or are they the real deal? i reckon you pretty game driving satans car around. lol

reread post and i see photoshop for the plates, nice touch

Yep photoshop is good fun hows life WRXER?

and believe me it is satans wagon I did a tune up (adjust points clean plugs not spend money) and the timing was a 20 degrees advanced only 12 -14 degrees past what it should be on I had to pull the dizzy and reset it just so I could see the timing mark

now it actually runs like an 82 wagon not a box of rattles to the point that the engine is in better condition that I originally thought

TOONGA

all sweet here toongs, you fixing the wagon or the ute? got the lift kit in yet?

Im fixing the brumby

lift kit is in big tyres and new front panels as well

looks way better

will post some pics when I get some batteries for my camera

and the wagon is nearly ready to be off loaded

TOONGA

hey toonga, if you wanna get rid of that wagon i will take it from you in full, if it still has atleast abit of rego and i will give you what you paid, just need another car to get to work and back while mine is in panel bashers.

Cheers Mike
