Someone please shut down my bank account, I need to stop buying things.
I tried to get a couple buddies to buy this car when it popped up on Facebook marketplace about 2 months ago. I started talking to the guy and decided maybe I need this. I've had 3 colts but not a van and i've always wanted one. The guy said the engine had a spun bearing and the trans was missing 5th but it was complete/stock. 2 hours before we were loading up to go look at it he told me he was pulling the ad and didn't want to sell anymore, but would add me on facebook incase he changed his mind. I had pretty well forgot about it up until Wednesday of last week when he messaged me saying he needed to sell it now. We loaded up friday and ended up negotiating him down to $600 for it. In comes a 1992 eagle summit AWD to the collection.

We stuck a battery in it and confirmed the noise, then promptly took it out in the desert and tried to blow it up but it's a fighter and just won't die. Had it singing at 5K+ in some deep soft sand through 1st and 2nd and it just keep plowing along so we decided just to yank the engine out this week and drop the 4g in it. The plan is just to get it running with one of my spare 16gs and then mod as we need to. We have an HPDE event next month and the goal is to have it ready for that. I'll continue updating as I can!
