Dave's Rustmaster rides again!

Since Dave (95BRMW) picked up a new and much improved RM wagon about 2 weeks after getting this rusty disaster on eBay cheap from some oblivious liar guy, he "gave" it to me rather than pay to store it until getting parted out in the spring. Worked out for me since I sold my Red Caprice last week. Only thing I have to do is keep the engine maintained, and help pull parts come spring. Small price to pay for a very nice driving wagon. It's a shame it's so badly rusted. It looked a lot better before we pulled the beltline trim off it and swapped it onto Dave's new '94 RMW which had Gorilla Glue ALL OVER the stainless trim, even in places the rubber strips would not have been. So I think the guy down the street from me might have a contender for worse looking RMW on the block. I should really get a pic of that guys, it's so much sadder looking than this car. Anyway, I plan on putting some snow tires on some steels, fill the gaping quarter hole with something so I don't hear or breath so much exhaust, and hope the car doesn't split in half. So the old YSY plates go on 4th wagon, and this sad, sad RMW gets a stay of execution.

It must be worse than it looks.

I call dibs on the rear end

Yes, sadly. When it had all it's trim it looked pretty good. But if you look underneath you mostly saw carpet. Also holes in frame

Yes, with a bad bearing. Was going to use this as a core to build a new 3:23 or 3:73 end. I thought this was a posi too?

Asked the seller for some pics of the underside,he said his camera was broken.Knew then it was
much worse than he said in the ad.

I have a posi acle out of a 95 in my yard if you really need one. It was going to go in the 1A2, but now I am over stocked on these axles



I think it needs the glue covered trim, it just looks bad nothing on it! I sure have learned my lesson with rust buckets after this one. If your car has so much rust that the arm for the auto level sensor ROTS away, you have some serious problems!
