Just joined the ranks with a 95 RMW
Havent driven a wagon since 76 OCC
A local one came up LOW in the $ range so I figured I'd try it again.
I like the car but I need to do a little work before its really roadworthy.
Lovely winter weather has kept me from doing anything yet.
Hope to get some tips when needed.
Keep an eye out for me in the wanted section

Prior owner did all the mods..feels thick like vinyl but could be paint
Maybe he did it in an attempt to provide a cutoff line for the HID's

Been to cold to spend anytime getting to know it.
I'm just fixing the idiot lights now.
ABS frayed wire, low oil level, sensor fell apart in pan.
Last item MAF circuit. MAF itself is good, evidence of splicing near the connector.
THAT should let me clear the CEL.
Locked up the front left wheel everytime I hit the brakes in the snow.
Clip had disappeared from the pad, all set now.
This wagon looks 3X (ok maybe 5X) better in the pic then up close & personal.
It was re-sprayed with the lower mouldings on....now they're gone & its pretty ugly.
Rear window/ tailgate lock is shot, solenoid operates but doesnt pop the window.
So....I havent even seen the SPI label to know what it started as.
I'm kinda assuming the Black WB4 as I see no evidence otherwise.
Its fine for what I needed now & I LOVE the capacity.
Now I'm keeping my eye out for what I really want Very Happy

Just for the record,
The prior owner was a standup guy, very up front & honest about everything.
( so none of the above is whining)

Slick looking wagon! Welcome Smile

Thanks for reminding me how easy that was.
Yes, the RMW is everything I thought it was
Fixed the maf circuit today (it hit a balmy 36 degrees) just bad wiring
I now have a clean cluster, no idiot lights or CEL & running good.
Ready to move on to suspension. Hitting a little to hard up front.
