Hello everyone, I've just acquired an 850R wagon in black, which I picked up in Oakland and drove home in. It's rough as you'll see, and has a salvage title from having the tail gait damaged and the rear glass broken. Honestly, I cant believe it takes so little, but I guess it's an old car now, so they totaled it. It was cheap, and ran ok, so I grabbed it. I've located a replacement and am picking it up tomorrow. It's white but I'll paint it so it doesn't stand out too bad. I've ordered most of the parts to bring the service up to date, and am not driving it until the timing belt is replaced, as I've no service records at all. Once I've done that, I'll drive it out of the garage and take pics. Tested the compression and it's all around 180 psi. with 210K showing on the broken odo, which I've ordered the gear for from IPD. Looking forward to learning about this cool car.

 

Welcome to the forum. Hope the car won't drain the bank.
