the wagon is an 85. yea it's the same one  the rust holes in the doors were under the trim along the side. I'm debating if I'm going to put that back on.  If it warms up again soon it will get painted.

My 83 is blue, and I hope to get it painted, maybe next year.  I really like your blue.  What is it called?
