    Finally got it! Well yesterday, but I never got back to the computer... As promised, here's the first pics. I'll get better at taking them!:2_thumbs_up_-_animaI've got some work to do, but it's a 60K one owner from PA, so its really in great shape. Leather interior, rides like new, although I didn;t go far as it isn't licensed yet.:whew: Under the hood needs the most attention, but a good weekend under there and it will look great. I'm stoked! Can't wait to get cruising in this thing! What do you all think?

    Nice looking Roadie, wood delete to! :2_thumbs_up_-_anima

    Get a spray bottle of Simple Green, spray it on and let it soak for 15minutes or so, then hose off with water. Its biodegradable and will not hurt any of the plastic or rubber. If you have access to a pressure washer, thats best. I just did mine at a car wash. It took off all the grease and grime on my 92. You could hardly see the ribs in my valve covers when I started. One spray, soak and hose off and it was down to the metal, no scrubbing required. AND.... Simple Green smells damn good too!

    Sweet! a white wb4 Roadie, one of my favorites. 60,000 miles too! Nice find, do you still have both arms and legs? Wagon Fest is coming back to Waterloo, NY. again this July, come on out.

    Blackfoot, wet engine pics are cheating! We want to see the engine bay clean, and dry.:bath:

    Sweet Roadmonster! You did good.

    X2 on the Simple Green. (y) It sends grease and grime packing.

    You cant tell even if its wet that the grease and grime is gone? :49:

    Impossible to get you any pics, the car, that I sold to my cousin for $500 because I absolutely needed the money ASAP to move, was later sold for scrap for just over $800 a little over a month ago. So if you like to see pics of it, you will need to go to Walmart and take pics of Microwaves and junk, because she been sent to China in little chunks to be recycled and turend into junk to be sent back here and sold at Walmart. :cry:

    I thought my new microwave had a bit of an attitude to it... Thanks for the tips guys, will be making progress on it soon, and will post results...

    I still got both arms and legs, but they just barely made it... Spent a little more than I originally planned, but I'm ok with it... It will just limit what I can do to it this year. Will have to do a few more brake jobs and tune-ups to round up the garage money to get it completed.

    First I got to get the other bay in the garage cleaned out, as the "war Dept" is not happy that her car is sitting in the snow at the moment...

    Here's a few more pics... imagejpeg_2_16.jpg imagejpeg_2_26.jpg imagejpeg_2_18.jpg
