Re: Possibly worst shape SVX ever???
If I had the means and the money I would at least try to fix it up and take great pride in bringing an SVX back to life but i have no money whatsoever.
These are the problems: The driver door is rusted through, normal rust starting behind the right rear fender, inside of left rear fender is starting to rust, cracked windshield, I don't believe the back seat is salvageable as a rusted CD player was stuck to it, door panels and leather seats(no rips or tears) are filthy but is possible they could come clean, the wiring is all messed up-hence it being used as a parts car by previous owner, engine and transmission are in unknown condition. The decent: It does have an almost perfect condition headliner, carpet will probably come clean with a thorough cleaning(or 5), All metal is straight, both bumpers and all but one plastic molding piece is useable, all other glass appears to be in good condition(just normal streaks on moving windows) and I have just about every part just everything is almost completely disassembled. I am still thinking I might like to hold on to it for awhile in case I ever do get the money to fix it up since it does have a clean title and is fairly low mileage (101k). The biggest problem besides money is a place to store it until that time and keeping it from rusting anymore(especially the inside of the trunk) |

Maybe you could turn it into a track car or etc

Re: Possibly worst shape SVX ever???
If only I went to the tracks anywhere
Maybe I could start a pole on what people think I should do with this car-If I had someone who could readily help with the wiring it would make it a much easier decision... I must add that it is surprising that this car has good hood struts and perfect visors |

Re: Possibly worst shape SVX ever???
Looks a bit rough. At least it doesnt appear to have ever been wrecked heavily.

I do have storage at my friends dad's who is also my mechanic for stuff I can't do-but only for maybe a month or 2 since the car does not have registration. |

Re: Possibly worst shape SVX ever???
If it was cleaned, it wouldn't look nearly as bad. Still it's a very, very long way from road worthy. I say use the parts for now.

Re: Possibly worst shape SVX ever???
Which one?
The Claret is getting a heart transplant (hopefully) before Reading. The '93 is slowly shaping up. I pushed out a few dents, replaced the LF fender and both bumpers with used, put on some wipers, replaced a bent rim, installed poly sway bar bushings, and replaced the cat. It actually passed state inspection. It still has typical oil leaks, and the interior is still pretty ratty. (Door panels and rear seat ruined, carpet now gone)

Re: Possibly worst shape SVX ever???
Our cars are getting so rare I feel any that can be restored should be. Perhaps a couple hundred bucks on a tempo storage shelter would keep the weather off.

Mike, I was talking about the 93 lol. Good to hear it passed inspection. Its gotta be a pain to have to worry about inspections. We don't have any here although I have seen many cars around that definitely should not be on the road. |

Re: Possibly worst shape SVX ever???
Theres already a couple people parting out their SVXi, we don't need another. If it were me, I'd put it back together and track it like no tomorrow.
But then again I have a bad habit of dumping money into broken cars. |

Test the drivetrain before you invest in the body parts to fix it. You may want to use the stock trans in your silver, then you can make this one a 5 speed with a rebuilt motor.
