    Wasn't any. Although i didn't check under the plate filler. I couldn't get it off cause it was secured all weird.

    I'm still debating whether I really want this or not. I forgot to mention that there's also a couple rust bubbles on the sunroof and the hood needs to be repainted. What's r3v's opinion? Worth the money?

      Most definitely worth the money. Fix it up and sell it to someone stateside in 2 years time for $10k

      Btw whats the easiest way of finding wagons in Canada? Canadian Craigslist/ kijijiijijijijijijiji is hard to narrow down when you don't know any of the Canadian Providences LOL

        Is it just me, or wouldn't this car be HORRIBLE to drive? I thought that TD motor was absolutely gutless. If you do a swap it would help, but would it be worth more with the original motor despite its slowness?

          The turbo diesel is gutless but can be easily modified.

          Offer the guy $1200
          If you hold on to it I'll give you double that next year. Lol

                Did you get the grilles for the front? Lol

                Hopefully those chrome arches aren't hiding any rust either!

                  That chrome junk is just stuck on with glue or something. I peeled a bit of it off and the paint was all good.
