Richened out because I have the wrong MAF duct taped on, backfired, blew apart the duct tape.

 

 

Man I am with you! I got my wagon 1991 240 NA for $500
Exhaust leaks
Bad timing
Leaking Diff
Rust
Leaking windshield
Destroyed engine mounts
Failing Alternator
Missing random bolts
Bad A/C
Broken Tie Rods and end links

The list goes on! But I love the process of reviving this wagon! I fully respect you for your project and what you are doing here. I think everyone should go through this process if possible because you learn so much! just be careful as everyone of your friends and family will try and make you their personal mechanic! lol

 

 

That was quite an adventure....red light runners...18 wheelers pulling out...

 

I got a $10 pipe from Jegs because I wanted to see what it'd sound like with a resonator delete. Could not get the pipe off the back of the resonator, tried hammering, PB, jimmying, and about a half hour of wiggling. I'm sure I would've eventually gotten it off but I realized all the wiggling was breaking off the back of the muffler.. Must've had a hole already cause I didn't really notice any sound difference after throwing it back together. Also my cheapo Monroe shocks extend too far when I jack up the body, so part of the pipe has a nice squished spot from the swaybar.

 

Stumbled upon this while looking for some hubcap info. I have a 90 240 wagon also in CT....so maybe we will pass by in the road and will have to waive. What part of the state are you in? You got me beat for price...mine was $800 including a set of studded winter tires and roof rack! The roof rack was probably worth $200 as it was!

 

I jealous about the old Volvo's you all see in the junkyards. I can find none locally in South Florida.

 

but I bet there's a huge supply of avocado green metallic Buicks!
