I love how there's no front fender, but the flare is still there.

What makes you think it's that new? It has to be older than that; there's no airbag.

It's gotta be around an '88, it still has the old dash.

She's mad because you brought a giant metal abortion home, and you paid for it with money that could have gone to some deluxe coffees.

No brainer to me...

Eh? I've got that same dash in my '96, and it's the original.

Well, the 'storm' seems to have passed.

Wife thought I spent more on it.

Previous Owner swears up and down its a 90, but its an HO, and the vin number says 92.

Don't know wether it will be parts, or another project. I really wanted a 2dr to tear into something not streetable. At least half the interior removal is already done for me. Once I clean all the cigarette packs/butts, and the 'lost' mail out of it, a 1/4 more will be done.

I wish the PO had left the Right Hand Drive kit in it, but he took it out to use it in his 'new' XJ.

There is no coffee shop in the town where I live, so the closest we got to 'deluxe' coffees, is the gas station across the street from my house.

I had it started yesterday. It doesn't sound completely terrible. I think it might have had a valve cover leak since it was new. There is 245,000 miles worth of crud on the motor.

Dude theres 2 different ones. Early model, and Late model. Early being till 96 and late being 97-2001. I'm going to make an educated guess and say 93.


edit:: Oops didn't see the post above... :D

Nah, it's 96- and 97+ break points.
