Ive got a 84 wolf weekender non pop up that was used for 4 kids learning to Drive ( Or bump into things ) there is not a straight pc of metal on the thing.
Being original Michigan Van the rust has played hell on the bare dents and bruises. Some of the exhaust was new and other parts were bondo muffler taped
together. When it came to me as a final resting place there was not much left of the water pipes, Brake lines, Power steering hoses and anything else on
the bottom side. Funny No rust holes just tons of surface rust. All this for only 94k miles. The PO actually drove it over with just the ebrake and left a note on
the dash " E-Brake went out also " Motor runs great and leaks just a little oil, Trans leaks nothing ( might be empty ) but PO said it shifts wonderful. Lots of
good usable parts but poor thing was beat down. Feel sorry for some When I see them. Then I see the ones with 200k plus and look great. All in good fun I
guess.
