My new CE (that makes 5 Marks now)

I bought this parts car. It's really not to part out, it's more to part IN. I'll be putting the parts into my 97 and CE.:)

I've already used one headlight and the 6 disc CD changer. The header panel is great, the hood is rough though, I'll be using it for now, but I'll be looking for a better one if anybody has one in 98 white.:)

I hope to start on it today between rainshowers.

lol wow. so you intend to restore this one or get rid of it after you take what you need? Did you get all the silver with it?
 
Thanks guys.:)

No silver ingots, at least I haven't found any yet.:D

This car is not worth restoring, just about every panel is damaged, the rockers are rusted, the front and rear glass is broken, rear seats trashed....

It actually runs fine, looks like the oil is fresh, and the trans fluid looks good.

I've been testing the systems, and so far the only problems seem to be:

Driver's door tweeter and seat back heater inop.
Bad blend door.
Passenger seat forward and reverse binds and won't move all the way.
AC compressor won't start (radiator fan OK).
 
Email replied, sorry Joe, just about every good part is already earmarked for my CE or my 97.

The 97 is getting the wood interior parts, doorpads, maybe the front seats, and even the air ride parts.:)

The radiator support looks to be in great condition, I'm going to cut it off. Jeremi gets first shot at that if he wants it.

Here's some of my un-progress from the weekend.:D

I need the styrofoam in that picture. Is that accounted for? ;)

That's an excellent condition, genuine, original, Collectors Edition, styrofoam right there.:D

I've never actually seen one that was still connected like that. I'm thinking about trying to remove it without breaking the nubs that hold it on.:)

You're welcome to it, but I don't think it would survive the shipping.:D

They're not nubs, they're aluminum rivets.

You can ship them, but dimensional weight will apply. Still no big deal.
 
LoL, nothing happened! Bill said everything was taken or called for to use on his CE so I figured I'd call him out on it. :)
 
I will have some things extra when I'm done, but I'll be keeping most as spares, since I do have 2 gen 2's.

I really like the sound of the 98 engines at start up, no chain tensioner noise. :)
 
Bill,

How about the Front right Headlight? Mine is not clear like the left one...I would like a clear one. How about a trade and some cash?

Jeremi buys and sells them, Bill just collects them.
 
Sorry, that's the best headlight I have. No headlights for sale.

After the car is apart, I'll go through what I have and post in the for sale section, if I have anything left worth selling.:)
