My car is at Cascade right now....It'll be there till prob. tuesday next week....parts won't arrive until Friday this week....
I told them not to do the rear strut mounts....have you done those? Shouldn't be too hard right? |
mm
1) Its in mothballs 400 miles away
2)Passenger window 'busted' some how (doesn't line up, and 'falls' an inch when lowering it) 3)trip meter busted (can I take another instrument cluster, and put them together to make work?) 4) The rear wheel well rust has begun. 5) To many door dings and tiny dents 6) Spoiler chips 7) "melted" shifter trim I think thats it...4-6 being the really annoying ones, because I can't afford a high quality paint job. And I can't diagnose the window problem... I have a parts car, but the window hardware looks really difficult... Meh, I count myself lucky, Mechanically beautiful all the way around. James |

I "retrofitted" my R-12 '92 to R134 with a shelf kit from advancs auto a few weeks ago 'benebob' style.
so far so good - blowing nice and cold and haven't lost any pressure. Time will tell if the seals start to leak or the compressor self destructs but the way I figure compressors are pretty cheap on ebay with the number of butchers parting svx's these days and if it doesn't work eventually I can swap a new one in. |
My engine is in eleventybillion pieces
There's a huge ass hole in my hood All my lights are off the car Trunk lid is off the car...spoiler off the lid The body is multi-colored from sanding/bondo/primer Interior is disassembled Door glass is off the rails All 4 wheels are off the car Front/Rear diffs are drained All lower body panels and rear bumper are off the car I have no brake fluid...but do have nice new SS lines Steering rack is not mounted Other than that it's in great shape. |
About every orifice capable of leaking fluid of some sort is leaking. but that's all being fixed.
I have to gently press up on the back of the sunroof to get it to lift initially. then it's fine. My switches for the console on the driver's side are ass, so i took them out and use a safety pin. The ashtray (since it was a smoker's car) dosen't lift when you press it anymore everything else is fine, actually. |
front wipers stopped working 4 years ago, replaced motor, must be the front wiper control unit
trip odometer died droopy visors antenna doesn't go down all the way. A/C blows out the bottom only sun roof sticks need hood struts oil leaks at valve covers, cam seals just replaced cracked radiator, tried JB weld, didn't work for me |

- 1500rpm buzzing noise (resonator?) - Air conditioning gave out sometime this winter and needs a charge - Radio antennae doesn't go up - Badly worn floormats - Spolier is loose - Down to about 180 miles per $60 of gas @ 135.9/L even while driving like your grandma - Driver's sun visor hangs down at a 45 degree angle, passenger's droops too - Missing kick panel by driver's left foot - Hood struts are there for decoration only - Escaine worn badly on both doors (where hands go to pull the beastly doors shut) - Dipstick pops up a half inch and won't stay down - Sunroof needs a poking to get going while opening - Rear wiper fluid squirter non-functional, which allowed me to find out: - Rear wiper fluid tank leaks - Slow leaking steering rack - Scratches in both driver and passenger windows from worn/dead felt pads - Bass makes my license plate buzz (loose) Edit: The 93 is awesome. Only problem with her is the plastic strip along the floor of the drivers door broke off its clips. |

Dear god.... And here I am thinking 115/L is bad. (What happened to the days when 70c/L got people mad?):( :( |
My turn again. Since I already posted about the Claret. This is what is wrong with the Emerald Pearl.
-needs a transmission put back in -I'm still working on cleaning up the interior...especially the carpet -droopy sun visors..both -chipped spoiler -needs a stock tape player or another radio That's pretty much it. Lucky me. |
1. I've got the t-belt off and forgot how everything goes back togethor. Had some pressing issues and had to let it sit for several months.
2. Noticed some more oil leaks - not from the cam seals that I just replaced. - Prob valve cover related. 3. car needs paint bad 4. aftermarket Wheels don't match. Close but no match - came that way. 5. All oils need to be changed. Just invested a small fortune in amsoil. 6. no hood struts - just have a stick to hold the hood up. 7. no water sprayers for front window. Whoever put on CF hood just left them off. 8. wires melted on top of the AC compressor but it still works. 9. want to get rid of cone intake and go back to stock - hope parts are in trunk. 10. Prob need a new batt 11. prob Need plugs 12. anntennae has a mind of it's own after installing aftermkt radio. 13. Radio door cover hangs on something. 14. window controls loose in armrest. 15. rear wiper doesn't work. 16. It's starting to get that 'old car smell' inside 17. Idle is very low at stop lights 18. Condensation in rear lights. 19. front lights are far from clear 20. droopy visors 21. haven't even started it for 6 mos. Now I'm feeling kind of depressed...who brought this thread back? |
