88 RT4WD in SW Washington, The Blue Bomber

Hey guys, figured its about time to post my build and gain some support and momentum. I bought this wagon in Sept of 2012 and love it to death. when I brought it home it had a pretty rough single stage paint job, some cut stock coils, and unknown to me several dry rotted coolant lines. By the time we got it home, there was oil in the radiator, but the gauge never went above normal. So the first order of business was a head gasket swap on the stock D16A6. The odometer reads 256000 miles but I was told it has been rebuilt. Clutch is soft, interior was pretty dirty, and the struts are shot. It cleaned up pretty nice and drives pretty good. Came with factory power steering, A/C, and cruise control.

The paint on this wagon is pretty nice. I like the color.
