Ok, things I know for sure need to be done.

Steering column. The classic "won't stay in place and bends downward when you lean on it". hmm, never replaced one of those b4. (key issue?)

Foglights were taken.

Figure out just what is the issue with the motor. I was told it wont run. But have not tried cranking it up yet.

Glue the drivers door molding back on. It's in the car.

Clean the interior. Its ok..just dirty from sitting. Then rip it out. I hate gray. Elec. seats and all. Anybody need 'em?



Wash it...I hate dirt too.

Hmmm....When I click on the link for pic--nothing happens--just a blank page



Am I doing something wrong?

I noticed the VIN page does not seem to be working properly....OH Well!

Where is Crandall anyway?

Killer find! That looks sweet.

I may be interested in grey interior pieces, let me know what you have and what you want for it.


If you want to do any mods I may have some pieces to trade...like a SLP 1 3/4" headers y-pipe and cat back.

Not to mention about a ton of other stuff.

esc....will do.

I'm going to start on it this weekend...give her a good looking over under the hood. If I have to pull the motor..(sigh) I will or get someone else to do it. Whoever had it painted the plenum and runners red. The motor seems complete and its clean, I'm really curious as to whats wrong with it.
I'm sure I'll need parts whether engine wise or interior once I get going on it. I do know I need a complete black interior. I'm going to look locally for that.

The image is embedded in the posts I think, not a link.

Do you see images in other threads?

Yes..I can. I even see images in my sleep (but that's another story--LOL)

When I click on it, I just get a new page, but it's blank.

I even used my mod priviliges and went into the thread and tried to do a copy and paste of the actual web site/page, and then entered it into the address bar on my browser--nothing.

I hear you. My wife thinks I went into my second childhood with 2 of these things. Hay, we gotta have our toys.

If I get too lazy to fix it I might trade both this one and my 92 RS for an IrocZ running. Maybe?

Well, I put a battery on it Saturday and it turns over and it trys to start and almost did. But she just wont talk to me. Don't know if its not getting gas, has bad gas, or fuel pump or whatever.
I just don;t have the $ or time to send it to a shop right now so it may just sit there a while until I can fool with it more.
Anybody want to trade? I'll trade the red one and a 1992 RS that I drive daily but needs paint and the body work work completed for a running IROC? 2 for 1. Heres the 92
