Looks pretty decent. Your color looks like mine i think. Should say in the center console. 9535 if I'm right. Not rare enough to make it worth millions, but rare enough you'll never find touch-up paint. I've tried.

Good to see you're back w/a Bird. We gotta do someting about the idiot lights though
Hope it lasts longer & runs better than the last one :rockon:
for the headlight repair, what's needed? are they nonfuctional (stuck in the up postion)?

The headlight motors work, but the gears are stripped out. I was told by the previous owner that last winter he was being an idiot trying to get the headlights up when the car was covered in a sheet of ice.... go figure!!

GLUE STICKS FOR HOT GLUE GUNS!!!take your headlight motors out and there will be 2 screws holding a little plate on the side remove them (CAREFULL SOAK THEM WITH PENETRATING OIL FIRST) and u will be able to see a gear.on top of the unit there are 2 more screws take them out (CAREFULL SOAK THEM WITH PENETRATING OIL FIRST) and u will pull out a worm type gear. now the gear on the side will pull out. pull the side gear apart, the shaft will pull out of the gear with one side of it. there will be a lot of dust,dump that in the trash.get a standard size glue stick and stick one end in and mark where it comes even with the top of the gear.cut on the mark and u will need 6 pieces that long for both motors (3 each) put the 3 pieces in and spray with wight lithium grease. and ressembalthe motor by putting the worm gear in first then the side gear.then put the screws back in and reinstall.good luck!
