I have my own family.

Band Wagon
Let's be real, I will never be married or have children.
On a serious note, I purchased my second red RT earlier this week. It's a '90 auto with 205k on the odometer and ZERO RUST! Growing up in the midwest I never owned a car that was rust free, so this car is quite valuable to me.
A few weeks ago I had spotted this RT while I was at my local snow cone trailer. I left an offer with the owner of the car, without much hope of getting a reply. Two weeks later he called me and said that he hit a curb while texting. He smeared the passenger front lower control arm back a few inches. There also is heavy damage on the fender, bumper, and RT wheel. The owner offered to put the car in my driveway for a very good price. I accepted.
Not sure what's going to happen with these two cars. My original plan was was to use the '90 as a parts car, but as proceed to take the damaged parts off... it really isn't that bad. I may decide to just fix the car and sell it. Even putting it in storage is a huge option.
This was taken on my small trip to Liberty Hill, Texas to see what kind of damage the curb caused.
The prime time side of the wagon. This was taken as they were pulling up to my house. Boner time for sure.
'90 on the left, '91 on the right.
Damage.
The garage mess before.
The garage mess after.
I suppose I will keep both cars in the same build thread.
As of right now I have removed the front fender and bumper. I am in the process of getting the lower control arm out of there.
I will keep you guys updated.

Loaded in the woods.
My other ride. Sunday Conductor. Trail machine!
I hope this will salvage with some heat. I've been looking for years.
Mildy stuck here. I don't have enough room between the auto trans and where the lower control arm is mounted. Is my only option to loosen up the transmission mounts and muscles some stuff around?
By the way, good image of the 2wd/4wd switch on an auto RT.
wut?
"WNBR (world naked bike ride) Austin is an amalgam of art and motion as message. The message is both celebration and protest and is part of an international day of bike riding to support sustainable transportation, safety on the streets and freedom of expression. We demonstrate nude to bring attention to this cause and because we are “naked” and vulnerable amidst the steel and asphalt of city traffic."
