Wide14u Posted September 10, 2011 Report Share Posted September 10, 2011 if i got something for 200 it would cost me a 1000 just to get it going :D Quote Link to comment
bonvo Posted September 10, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 10, 2011 the reason i bought it was because it was in this good shape if it would have cost me 1000 to get it running i wouldnt have bothered but since it was in the shape it was in i jumped on it Quote Link to comment
bonvo Posted September 11, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 11, 2011 im so glad i picked this thing up not only do i have brakes after bleeding them but i took some polishing compound ot the paint and its like brand new Quote Link to comment
Logical1 Posted September 11, 2011 Report Share Posted September 11, 2011 I just found this thread and I DIG the Suby Goon! I owned a couple 80's loyal wagons but I have never seen the 70's version before, Looks like a 810 goon and a volvo had a bastard child :lol: I second the conversion to 6 lug and throwing some meats on there eventually. Plenty of cheap 6 lug wheels & tires on CL and it would set her off :cool: Quote Link to comment
bonvo Posted September 11, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 11, 2011 it might look like an 810 mixed witha volvo but if thats the case the child came out deformed because this thing is tiny compared to an 810 goon Quote Link to comment
bonvo Posted September 13, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 13, 2011 went to work on it today headed to my parents place and they werent there so i waited while i waited i busted out the polishing compound and got this as a result on the left you can see what was polished and the right isnt done yet almost brand new paint then i started on the clutch radiator out disconnect some stuff and its out hard to tell from the pic but this disk is hammered i have some cleaning in my future and thats where work stopped due to having the wrong clutch disk Quote Link to comment
bananahamuck Posted September 13, 2011 Report Share Posted September 13, 2011 Did you ever get any leads on a rear blinker thing cause im going out the coast tomorrow and cars out there ain`t much but plastics and glass because of rust..But can`t guarantee anything... Also they are logging and fishing towns and since both are really bad,, parts are really cheap. Quote Link to comment
