    Unfortunately, the previous owned didn't have a carpet in it, so whatever was on there is now completely ruined by luggage.

        Old thread: Build Sheet? In this post, it is suggested this online site can decode, for a fee, I assume.

          5 reports for 5$. I'll PayPal someone a dollar if they do this.

            Perhaps we can team up? I'd pay $1 for my car but I have no use for 5 checks.

                  On Monday, I finally paid a visit to Toledo to visit 'thesam1984' for the first time and to pick up the remaining parts for Jeanette with the taillight grille and headlamps. And today, I finally replaced that broken taillight grille:

                  Before:



                  After:




                  I also fixed the 3rd brake light by slightly splicing in an extra length of wire to the connector so that's working again, plus did a full oil change. Now that the distributor o-ring is finally replaced I have not seen anymore leaks under the car.

                    Happy you got to meet another member of the car club. That's great!

                    Wagon looks a lot better with the tail light trim replaced! Also very happy the o-ring corrected the leaking.

                    Sincerely,

                      Looks great 'AVTechMan'... thats what I love about an older car... new cars just age and are never as nice as first time new... but with an older car, any repair that was better than when purchased makes it feel like a new car over and over.

                      Im excited to get my new 15" Cooper Cobras tomorrow! Last night couldn't sleep and so finally changed plugs and wires

                          Toledo is considered to be the crossroads of the nation with the 80/90 and 75 running through it , lol

                                Looked for a set of new white wall tires for the ciera. Checked discount tire, tires plus, goodyear, NTB, sears, and Wal-Mart. No one had any in stock except discount. Hankook optimo H724. 55$ea for 185/75/14. Ugh. Wish it was back to early 90s again for better selection and price haha
