You'll have to take off the panel behind the seat, and reach in and undo that speed nut. There's also going to be one right at the end of the door, and then there'll be one more speed nut behind the inner fender well that you'll have to pull out the little clip and pull the inner fender well portion aside (I cant manage to do it w/o breaking that little clip lol.

I take good 91-92 gfx off the cars in the junkyard all the time. The side ones are a PITA! Now i just need to sell that extra set of aero gfx lol.

Oh, and jacking it up by the pumpkin, and leaving the jackstands under the axle tubes is perfectly allright. That's how you're supposed to jack up the rear.

For the fronts I typically jack up on the crossmember, and leave the jack stands under the swaybar bushings.

i'm looking for 450 + shipping (which i'd assume to be almost 100 dollars ... you'd pay actual shipping price). It's not really a negotiable price, and the parts will need a little body work as well as sanding down to get all the paint off, and then smooth out any minor body damages. Mostly the chin spoiler has a scrape on it where you'd need to re-work the body line.


Honestly, I would check your local junkyards because you can get it for cheaper from there. But if either of you are still interested shoot me a PM so we dont get the post locked.
