Back after a few years away

My wagon has been sitting for around 2.5 years and I'm finally able to get it back on the road and do some work on it.  I was on this and other forums previously as Stemmler.  I made a new user because I no longer have access to my old email address.

After moving, having no place to store or work on the wagon, I got a little lucky.  My brother wanted to borrow the wagon for a week or three while he puts a new engine in his pickup.  He agreed to help get it back on the road and inspected, thank god it's old enough to not need emissions anymore.  Even though it's almost winter I should be able to install some of the pile of parts that still need to go in and be ready for spring.  The last thing I need to do is get the DMV to let me use my 6spdwagn plates again, had to get new plates since it sat unregistered for so long.

I hope I can get active again and keep improving my wagon or at least keep it on the road.

Glad your back on the road,I hate to see them sitting,rotting away.

Welcome back, looks sharp!

Clean lookin' wagon! I like it!

Bill? How are the u-joints holding up? Is there still a road sign helping the floor pan?

Welcome back!

Signs are still there and the u joints are still working perfectly.

With the exception of a front wheel bearing and a rear brake line rusting through the wagon made it through hibernation unharmed.

Hi I'm a newer owner of a 96 rmw, typical ohio rust in certain spots,but plan on getting new car pillars, your wagon looks great, my favorite things about my wagon are the lt1 and touring suspension, but good looking wagon bud!

Welcome back I bought my wagon a little over a year ago... Jeff
