Story - I purchaced this car which was advertised for parts or repair.
It had 2 bent lower control arms and a broken wheel. Also had
a
proken A/C pump, some damaged sheet metal, and a cracked engine
crossmember and broken RS engine support. The PO ran over an
unforgiving 8" curb!
I replaced all of the above. I will also replace the front
wheels with refinished factory 924S wheels (oh boy). I also have
a set
of 7+8x16" wheels with Comp T/As on them that wil fit.
I know the following:
1) The AC doesn't work...I know this because I did not charge it
when I replaced the A/C pump!
2) The PS pump is missing altogether. The lines were all destroyed.
I packed some grese in the rack and it now feels like a manual steering
car.
Can easily be converted back to power steering. Brackets intact.
I
have some spare pumps.
3) The interior is decent with the exception of the seats.
4) It needs sunroof gears and the sunroof coloe does not match.
The original sunroof parted with the car while being towed
from the PO's house. It can be found along Rt 295 in NJ somewhere
around the 15 mile marker!
5) The RF fender has a minor kink in it. I can find a replacement
inexpensoively.
The front spoiler is kinda crumpled as well. The nose is straight
and all
the gaps are where they should be.
6) I did change the oil and coolant as a hose was leaking.
Here are some pics of the car when it arrived:
The headlights work fine. The mechanism was jammed on the windsheild
washer fluid bottle.
Hey look at the Arms on that one! Luckily they took the blow well.
