Hi guys! I joined because someone from Facebook in Underappreciated Survivors suggested this group as an invaluable tool and resource. I'm from Kansas and live up north by Concordia and Minneapolis.

Well, I've always loved wagons since I was a kid and a year ago I ended up with an '88 S10 Blazer although Ideally I wanted a wagon. I have a soft spot for the S-series and did a lot to the truck.. Lowered it, got all the systems taken care of and my mom, before she passed away helped me with rust repair. Well, long story short I was depressed and couldn't face myself to work on it anymore. Just by chance I was scrolling FB marketplace Friday and saw a '94 Estate wagon, the guy wanted to sell or trade for a pickup.

Fast forward to Saturday and I ended up picking up a '94 Roadmaster Estate wagon with 139K miles on it.

Now she isn't perfect but its perfect for me and the kids. Helping raise my deceased best friend's kids and the wagon definitely helps with them.

As far as background on it, It only needs the cruise control to work again, the horn blows constantly so the fuse has been pulled. Also the tailgate fold-down mechanism doesn't work but swings out. Asides from that she's got some pep in her step for being two tons of fun. Oh and the front bumper cover needs replacing and a peice of trim molding. No rust though!

Also, typical curious me..I took the liberty of doing a RPO code lookup and this car came with a 3rd rear seat delete and wood grain delete.

Anywhoo.. glad to be here! -D

Actually I made it up myself by taking two things I like. dragons and brownies. Its also my gamer tag om PSN.

Oh! Since it is a 3rd seat delete car, The po gave me a 3rd seat with bottom cushion and two brackets. Not entirely sure what I'm missing to install it as there is a weird angled bar jutting out the right side of the seat.

As for the horn, it does have remote start and the po told me a cat got under the car at 2am set the alarm off. Ever since the horn would blow at random. so, eh. I think I'll fix it the right way or do a floor dimmer switch kinda thing with a separate horn button.

Grandpas Wagon, its a wodgrain delete car. Also 3rd row seat delete but came with most of the stuff to put a 3rd row seat in and I ended up figuring out how to put it in. Took me 3 hours of fighting the torque arm. I ended up bending the bracket that the torque arm is supposed to go under and bent it back in place. Just missing the seatbelts and the panel that the bottom cushion is supposed to go on. Might be missing more, not sure.

As far as location and signature, not sure how to do that.
