    this pretty much defines the word "parts car"

    This is not exactly the most well maintained car I've ever seen.. but it really made me appreciate the pristine condition of my 4 door! I should probably wash it so it doesn't turn into a rust bucket like the other one. ;)












    Everything I care about (motor, tranny, diffs, etc) are present and function fine. I hope the rear subframe/trailing arms aren't badly rusted because I'd like to rebuild them and put them into my car very soon.. not sure yet if I'll keep the shell for a beater/track car or if I'll just sell everything I don't need and have it hauled away for scrap. we'll see.

    I can understand why Fielding would want a new car though, and why the insurance company totaled it... at first I felt a bit bad taking apart a perfectly good car, but now I'll be more than happy to put it out of it's misery. :twisted:

    Parts car!?! psh... just give it a good wash and wax ;). Five speed swap?

      Those seats look nice. Sell em to Grant for his IX. How much you looking to get for em.

      BTW - Are they heated?

        yep. I specifically wanted an '88 parts car because for some reason that year has a reputation for lasting a long time, ie. no t-case problems.

        don't think they're heated, but I'll probably put them up for sale. I need to get the water out of the interior so the seat tracs don't rust!

          Good shiet! Couldn't ask for a better parts car then eh?

              I'm not selling anything off it yet, but in any case I'd rather sell the whole light assembly as they are in pretty good shape. I do have a set of "depo" manufactured brackets that are pretty much the same thing that I'd be willing to part with though.

                  Yes.

                  I'd love to have those seats.

                        Are the Depo's projectors? if so how much you want for them.
