Re: My car, from the begining
well i started looking at the car tonight, i have to fix the rear spoiler(broken studs), the check engine light was on, but it went off after i charged the battery, door pins(these are the worst i have ever run across, it has scratched the ground effects up), but the emergency brake works, it has new tires, new brakes, hopefully tomorrow night i can get some more stuff figured out. Now a question i have, does the 1991 have automatic headlights, because whenever the key is on all the lights come on,( i figured it would have daytime running lights). Also does anybody know if i can just replace the cable to release the top, or do i have to buy the complete unit.

Re: My car, from the begining
well the check engine light came on again, i read the codes it came up with code 23(mat or tps) so i will be getting both of those. Also the heater core has been bypassed so i will be replacing that. Also the metal line that runs from the rad to the heater core seems to rusted out, is there anyplace to get a brand new one of those, i was checking rock auto out, but was unable to see one. i have also started to remove the interior, but most of the screws will end up having to be drilled out and replaced i have a feeling

Re: My car, from the begining
Code 23 is for the intake air temp sensor make sure it is plugged in. The heater pipe will be a dealer item.

Re: My car, from the begining
lol wait until you see the next set of pics i take, i will be starting today pulling the drivers door(door off 84 is better), and interior including the dash to do some floor board cleanup, i am sure i will run into some nasty stuff when i do that. I will probably post pics next week when i have the car completely gutted.

Re: My car, from the begining
I'm reminded of the 6 million dollar man - we can rebuild him - better, stronger, faster! Good luck in the rebuild - and remember - it's better to restore them than crush 'em!

Re: My car, from the begining
well as of today the 84 is gone, somebody picked her up for some small parts he plans on using for his 86 i had alot of fun in this car, but sadly with a twisted frame it wasnt worth redoing again.

Re: My car, from the begining

Re: My car, from the begining
well i ran into a snag today, it seems that the vin plate has disappeared on my 1991, you can see where the rivets look like they rusted off, has anybody ever dealt with a missing vin
