Making me miss my 84, it's parked in a shed and snowed in good and solid until april probably. Can't wait to see more!

There are cracks you don't see in that photo. I wish it was not cracked, but nothing I can do about it. It still looks better than most........Rich

With a CDI, you don't need another TV (tow vehicle).

I got the engine in and running! It was a lot of work. Almost every part had to be cleaned before installing. It still has some issues, but I should get it on the road next week. It needs a brake MC (all the fluid leaked out while sitting the last 8 years). I got a custom stainless steel exhaust system on a parts car I bought, and modified (lengthened) it to fit the wagon. Photos coming. More updates as the work progresses......Rich
