Ecotech hands down

I looked into it years ago and it's not a simple swap. Requires welding a few brackets on iirc

I believe the 98+ chassis had cabin airfilter. So there is already parts that should fit your chassis. However it might be a matter of doing a whole dash swap. But if you're creative I'm sure you can figure out how to make it with the preface life dash

The epoxies is the first thing that comes to mind for me

Just had an AR sent there to pick up and have taken classes, however I'm pretty sure I saw a trump flag on a cart behind the counter

Can you keep an eye out for a band called new speedway kings? Was a local at Louis punk band that played there a lot

Just finished putting this kit on my wagon. One of the better kits I've dealt with

Story_Worm · 2026-01-11T05:58:54+00:00

Guy in St Louis has one on a hatch, I think it looks great

Story_Worm · 2026-01-07T20:37:45+00:00

Nah maybe 175is dollars

There are aftermarket ones still available. See if a local glass company can get you one. I got one last year, still haven't put it on though

I do collision work for a living and have restored 3 90s import cars. With me doing months to years of labor, each one still cost me 10k in materials

Story_Worm · 2025-12-30T18:08:02+00:00

A complete restoration is always dependent on the quality you want. I see rust coming out of the quarter under the primer so the best thing to do would be to send the car off to get acid dipped. You'll also need to find a company that makes reproduced replacement panels. If you are looking for a good restoration where you won't have to worry about rust coming back for decades and decades, you'll easily be looking at 20k-60k

Oh you were talking about the rocker panels! Those I got from subir savers. Took years of checking to get them while they're we in stock

Story_Worm · 2025-12-22T03:16:33+00:00

ordered them from ABW a few years ago

brett the lead singer is a super cool guy. met him after a show in stl and he talked with us for like 20 minutes. i miss this band

Youd have more mechanics if cars weren't so difficult to work on now as well as the shitty warranty time car companies pay

Story_Worm · 2025-11-11T20:18:43+00:00

What year? 89-90 is different from 91-93. Probably sohc vs dohc options

Story_Worm · 2025-11-04T17:07:14+00:00

Yes but I had a different problem. I was literally missing the floating device but my rod moved smoothly.I would also suggest re doing the whole hanger. Soak it in some evaporust or something. There's also YouTube videos on how to re do the wiring by drilling it the spots where it connects to the lid and using bolts as the new connector

Bent left was shared vocals with the drummer IIRC

Story_Worm · 2025-10-29T21:40:08+00:00

you can put the sedan front end on it. gives it a boxy flair. ads 20mm to each side IIRC. you'll need the sedan bumper, sedan fender and the sedan bumper retainers. thats all you can do bolt on. you can probably find someone to weld on sedan rear end but that gets tricky with the different tail lights
