After finishing my 1996 854 NA project and selling it back to the person who sold it to me, there was this hole in my garage. 6 weeks!!

Well, I got a new wagon. 1995 855T. Black/black with a spoiler on the back. All of the electrics work, I think. The check engine light was burned out. The brakes are really bad. The body is in real good shape for 20 years old, the inside is quite clean and not worn out. The ECC works, the AC does not. The turbo spools nicely. The tranny fluid is light brown and will be flushed real soon.

The odo broke, but the actual is 178K. Owner stated the T-belt was replaced at 140K, so at least that is good to go for a while. It has a P0440, evap leak, somewhere.

The left rear caliper doesn't seem to work well, the rust on the rotor will make replacing it paramount.

An easier project than the last car. I might even keep it this time!!
