New to you. Wagon owner since 91.

capttrippcapttripp Band Wagon
in New User Introductions
Hi, I'm on the Front Range in Colorado.
I've got an 86 and right now it's not much to look at but I've had some great times in the 19 years I've owned it.
I'd definitely be interested in finding some local resources and events, but for now it's just hello.
Great site - I can't believe it took me this long to find it.

    Woah! That's awesome that you've had it for that long. I can only imagine the stories, work, and fun you've seen in that thing! Post some pics of the old work horse. :)

    welcome...

    welcome to the board. I picked up my wagon in Boulder and my brother lived in Loveland for a few years.

    My wife was born in Worland but she's never been back.
    I'm sure alot of people have bought their wagons from the Boulder area - they were very popular here.

    Can anyone give me the poop on how to access the parts forum?
    It's telling me I don't have permission yet.
    I PM'd Haydz a couple of days ago but have received no response.
    I'm hoping that access to it will help with my search for a passenger side torsion bar.
    My 86 has now been grounded (literally) for a week and a half and I have no leads at all for a replacement.
    They are seriously scarce.

    Well, you've basically done all that you can. Sometimes, there's a glitch, and it doesn't work (access) as it should.

    Please keep in mind, that we are volunteers, with real lives. We aren't always available at the drop of a hat. Sometimes it may take a couple of days for us to respond. Haydz specifically, lives in New Zealand. So immediately you're dealing with time/day differences. He also has most of the work load on his back. Patience is always appreciated.

    Unfortunately for you, the majority of our members are dealing with 88-91 wagons. So at the moment, there isn't really anything in our marketplace for you. You might try RedPepperRacing.com for a more generation specific marketplace. Also check out car-parts.com.

    Good luck.

    Have you gone down to Pull n save in Aurora Colo
    They have civic wagons down there sometimes.

    Hey man, I found an 84-87 wagon sitting in a junkyard near otto, wyoming. If you need anything let me know. I need to go back there and look around some more. There was nobody there yesterday and I didn't want to be walking around without permission.

    Wow, thanks for all the great support and advice,
    The good news is that I finally located my torsion bar in an Oregon salvage yard.
    The guy said it was a bitch to get it out of the 85 it was in but now it's on its way here via UPS.
    Jackpot!

    I can definitely see that 88-91's are well represented here.
    I'm just hoping more 84-87's show up - we're boxy and ancient but we've still got the goods.
    Yeah, car-parts.com was where I found my torsion bar - great resource!

    www.redpepperracing.com for the 84-87 action.

    Not sure how many wago owners are there though.
