The parts wagon has been stripped of everything I need off it. There are some wants left, but given someone is buying it for $500 (I paid $600), I’m not going to be greedy.

All total it gave up the following:

AOD transmission

tailgate motor

tailgate inner handle

tailgate support cable

RR door armrest

dash clock

aftermarket Sunpro electric temp guage

washer pump

grille

roof rack

hood ornament

door pull

spare tire retainer

spare tire cover

Not bad for $100, and I still have the two catalytic converters to scrap for more $$.

Turns out my ‘87 wagon’s from brakes are a mess(caliper, sliders & pads all rusted together and binding), so I bought new police caliper assemblies & pads to just redo everything, because brakes are not something to half-ass.

Well, it’s certainly uncontaminated by cheese.

It spent its life near the shore, so it has deep rust spots on the shell everywhere there was a ding or chip. It is fixable but not as nice a s it looks in pics .

Hi s wagon was rear-ended, so he needs the bumper/gate/lower rear sheetmetal to fix it. He understands there will be rust repair, but the parts are impossible to find.
