Bad motor.....
But came with Alpine Head unit, full Boston Acoustic speakers front and rear, and a Nakamicki PA-304 AMP!
I didnt even know about the stereo until the guy called up and said "Sorry, I forgot to give you the face plate for the Stereo. By the way, there is a $1000 stereo in there!"

So I finally started it up today.
2nd turn of the key, and bingo! Ran and idled perfectly. LOUD clicking noises. I hope its valve train......
Then the stupid mutherfuking idiot move I have done in years,......
Forgot to install the damn axel nut on the axel I replaced! Borked the driver side wheel bearing!
Damn
but it runs.....poop,,,
Then....
$0 and a few hours later I have a new wheel bearing and am driving it around! Yeah!
Got lucky, and a buddy had an extra wheel bearing sitting in a cabinet and owed me a favor. Went a visited an old V-8 guy with a press and swapped them out!
Wagon needs some love, but other than that its up and running! Now I will go out to DEQ tomorrow and get some tags!
And the stereo is pretty bumping.....
