I haven't bothered to check the TV Bushing yet, so I dunno. It does have a small coolant leak somewhere up near the front right of the radiator (passenger side of the car), you can see a smallish puddle starting on the driveway in the front picture.
Sorry, Marquisman, I'm gonna keep the air deflector, you probably wouldn't want it anyway, as it has two holes drilled in it where the backup camera was mounted.
It's got all that rust starting, and the left rear quarter panel (bottom) is crunched. The guy I bought it off of said he was dragging it up on some ramps with his Jeep and a chain, and it slipped off and crunched on the ramp.
The guy I bought it off of graduated with my older brother Adam.
It has 138,000 miles on it, 34,000 of those were put on it in the last year or so, the guy said he drove it to texas and back alot. Before that, he said, it was driven up and down Rte. 8 up by Akron, used to deliver glass panels for a guy that was using it for a part time business.
I noticed it has a louder aftermarket horn mounted up under the front clip, two red plastic horns with air hoses going to them from a small silver cylinder.
It has the Y axle code which means 3.08 gearing.
Most of that beige trim around the woodgrain is supposed to be a lighter woodgrain its self, but it's been peeled off. There's a small hole in the corner of the passenger door that has been filled in with spray foam (wtf?!).
Both passenger side windows are inoperable, but the back one sounds like the motor is trying, it's just not catching the window. Front doors have to be locked with keys, same as my Grand Marquis, and I'm waiting on a box of parts my brother is supposed to give me that's full of window motors and door actuators and such.
The top of the wagon is fading, has that sort of cloudy splotchy pattern that bad clear coats get...
Tha's all for now I guess.

Well, I junked the wagon, pulled a lot of parts off it. Even without giving the scrap dealers the rims and tires, I got $464.24. Some of the parts, like the rear air deflector, I may put up for sale on here (any suggestions on a fair price?). I have another '91 I bought locally with problems & 1980c10's purple-rimmed beast, along with a '99 GM with 236k I've never posted here. Guess it's time to start some new threads soon!
The oil-pump was going out and giving me a flickering red ENGINE light of death, so it was not long for this world. 151k or so when I junked it. The exhaust was GONE so it was nice and loud as well.
It was weird and bouncy driving it to the scrapyard about 1.5 miles from my house & I was getting light headed from exhaust fumes from cutting off the remaining converter.Last edited by sxcpotatoes; 11-29-2011, 07:42 PM.
