one of the worst things, besides the leaking top, busted electric top motor, broken turn signal, busted fog lamp housings,
missing washer fluid reservoir and connections, busted LED screen in the little 16 button info dial, and lame purple tint

wish mine looked that clean even after a wash.
first thing i got on the to-do list is a new top. iv been looking and found a few sites, but the thing is im not sure if i need a new rack too, and since the motor is shot should i try to fix it or buy a new one before i put in a new top?

What's shot about the motor?

P.S. - If it doesn't drive, it doesn't need a new top.

no no no, the motor for the top. its an automatic top.

Welcome aboard! Are you sure that the motors are shot? When I got my 92 MT2 project, nothing worked with the electrics of the top but with some investigating I got it all to work great without costing anything.

Oh, well then that's the problem. Manual top FTW!:)

thats possible for me too, but i have no idea what to look for or even where to start. its seems there are some parts missing around where the hood folds into, but then again i could be wrong. im stil messing around with it, and looking up stuff all over the internet tryin to get some good info on all the problems. so hopefully i can figure it out, or get some help
