Can't wait to see the pics. Hopefully, all the vert specific parts are in good shape as some are near impossible to locate.

You should check the parts for sale thread, and if you can't find them there post on the parts wanted thread.

Congrats on the convertible Looks like a pretty clean car. If you're looking for a stock set of '91/'92 wheels I've got a set with good tires on them if you're interested. Shoot me a PM if you would like.

Nice Job! Great car, good deal on the purchase, I think you are really going to like that car. Keep us posted on your progress. Great to see a car being found by someone who will appreciate. Have you been out driving it much, is the engine in good shape? What other cars have you owned?

Congrats... Makes me miss my 92. Looks almost identical.. Mine only had the V6, but had around 205,000 miles on the car when I sold it.

------------------------

The rough running engine with heater running is symptomatic of a vacuum leak... Take a look around under the hood for dry rotted vacuum lines and listen carefully for anything hissing.

This could also be a problem under the dash inside the car. Listen closely for hissing when you move the selector on the H/AC head unit.

Good Luck!
