Project Tootie - Bucket Has a Younger Sister
« on: October 25, 2011, 02:35:18 PM »
I picked up Tootie today to keep Bucket company.  She has a grenaded engine but otherwise is in great shape.  Has several options my 83 Limites doesn't.  I'll get pics and info soon.

Maybe I'll put the two side by side and rig up some rope so I can ride them around like rollerskates!!! 8)

Tootie is home.  Tootie has a bad ticker, but...  Tootie will get a transplant.











I may be sleeping in her tonight...."sigh"

At least you will be sleeping in a car with an onboard air compressor.  You could adjust your ride height for more comfortable sleeping - if the motor would run.
That is a very good looking ride.

Beautiful Wagon!  I should know, I have the same color combo.  If you want to see what 31's would like on it, here ya go (minus the rear quater dent of course).

Just waiting for a set of louvers (Yup, on a Wag)

This is the reason I bought her



Look at her smile

Tootie may get a heart transplant from bucket this winter if I can't find a good priced 4.2.

Louvers are soo cool. Will the ones from an SX/4 fit our wagon? I'd love some louvers...that would be rad!
