Re: claret thread

Wheels are on backwards. This was my first SVX and serves as my daily driver (for now). I'll always love this one just a bit more than the others. And after battling with ear shattering squeaky breaks...she'll be getting new rotors, ceramic pads, SS lines, and calipers all around.









the Claret and the Bordeaux


Before I brought it home from the auction.

Re: claret thread

While I still had her.













Was going to buy it from my grandmother but after realizing she wanted $5000 for it I had to politely decline. Needs a transmission, shocks and struts, brakes, rotors, and wheel bearings.

I wish I'd taken more photos of this car when it still looked tidy.

Re: claret thread

Well, I know I will probably get flamed for this
The car has over 231K on it, it was starting to have some bad electrical issues and the body was getting really rough. It was going to take to much money and time to get it in top shape again. My 92 Teal has 101K on it and is in nice shape but, the engine has a nasty knock, the tranny slips bad and it could use a few interior parts from the Claret. So the sacrifice of one will make another live on.


And it might make some of you feel better....this found my posterior while removing the dash

Re: claret thread

That body really did look bad...no flaming here. If one must go down to save another, it's better that way. It's better than one just going down even though it's all right and so the owner can just make a quick buck.

Sorry, I cracked it while trying to remove it for the moulding. It had 3 bad rock chips in it and I was using a home made tool to remove it. I put some pretty good stars in it

Fawrk. I have a WS removal tool How about the driver's fender, headlights, & center grille piece? I could even be persuaded to drive up there one of these weekends, although I forget where exactly you live (Don't think I've ever been to your house) Was the interior in good shape? my driver's seat's stitching is coming apart and I don't have any floor mats
