I'm Back, with the "ebay red 94" details inside

I just purchased the red 94 lsi off ebay, it is described as spotless, a one owner -extremely well taken care of.
If by chance the owner is a member here, i'd love to chat. Again this is the 94 off ebay last week, 42,000 miles out of Salt Lake.

8 months with out an svx, i managed well, but had to buy another.

i came home one night after a very long day, cruised to ebay, did my standard svx search, and POW!!!. there its was, i actually believed everything i read on the description and headed for the buy it now option, knowing that some one out there would have grabbed it with in a few days. So, it was 12:55am, i place my bid for the option, and behold! , its now 1:00 am friday, ebays scheduled maintinance, shut down until early morning, in a freaky daze, i fell asleep with my lap top on, just in case i woke up, i could place the bid.
i woke up the next morning, and it seemed my senses were functioning, thinking clearly now, i decide to get to the gallery call the dealership and ask all the traditional svx questions.
They tell me someone is coming in at 1:30 with cash to buy it. I said well, i will be buying it now in just a few seconds, they said i would still need to wait until after 1:30. I then noticed "0" feedbacks, and stated that an ebay purchase is a binding contract. Not that negative feedback will ruin a person or biz, but this is common auction knowledge. Full respect for the ebay auctions!
They agreed, - sorry to the other guy, i bought it now- right then. Left my deposit and paid the balance today. I will see the car thursday this week.

Anyway its good to know i'll be back in the seat of a svx, being 42,000 and a new warrantee coming along with it, i hope to keep this one for quite awhile. Time to clear the svx spot in the garage again, i never thought it would be back, 3rd one now, what a trip.

For those who are interested here's a link to the auction.

Congrats on the purchase!

Let us know what you might want for the rims & waterfall grille.

I have 1 bad rim but I know I'll never be able to match it up with a single replacement.

Hey!

Nice to see you back on the board and back with the SVX. Great job. If you are getting rid of the waterfall grill, I'll take that. I have a 97 grill but I want an extra one to hang on and do a little R&D on.

Jimi, do you still have the specs on the clear headlight you did?

Lwin

well i do,

however,, my specs were not so high tech.

brain at small car is working on a actual mold, that will hopefully recreate the same shape as our existing.
i know he's having a tough time with the high and fogs, without the bezels, the coverage is very spot like. i thought it was fun however, much like off road floods.
I think i still have some photos in my locker here. i could easily right up the project, including materials, and all included.

though i do recommend talking with Brian on this. I just went off on my lights like a wild man. they looked great, but could be greatly improved.

infact angusfong, if you are on-board here, please give me an update, curious to how and what, you did with the paint project.

I'm afraid you got ripped off Jimi.

According to the Ebay ad, this car has a V6.

Welcome back!

[Red SVX 92]

Good to see you back, Jimi.

Jimi, I'm happy that you keep coming to your senses (third time SHOULD be the charm )

Welcome "home."

I took into account this problem when trying to think up how to do mine, and came up w/ a possible solution from talking to this guy I meet in the meijers parking lot (meijers is like a kmart, but better for those of you that dont have one). Anyways, he has a ford probe and redid his head lights w/ projector driving/fog lights. Said they work perfectly and they looked sweet to. If we took 2 sets of those and angled them correctly in there, filled the gaps w/ fiberglass, finnished the fiberglass with paint, chrome, or whatever, then put the plexiglass clears over that, it would probably work pretty well. I'm curretnly looking for a head light that's been dammaged to try this out w/ before I go moding my nice headlights
