Folks,
Sadly, it's all over between me and my '92. And it's all my fault. After
keeping up with untold numbers of repairs and maintenance items for
seven years, I broke it in one of the most stupid accidents of all time
-- slamming into and running over an unseen concrete parking lot divider
(in a new lot at night that didn't have its lights turned on yet...not
that I shouldn't have seen it anyway). SHO wound up straddling the
divider. Air bags deployed. Broke some hoses, transmission cooler, and
bent the front subframe. No body damage otherwise (except for a real
soft crease on right front fender from a previous mishap).
New: tires (less than 1,000 mi. no damage), clutch, Dynomax cat-back,
rear calipers, radiator, probably more. 143,000 miles altogether.
Eibachs, Tokicos, Cincy strut tower brace, front & rear. Was running
good but ready for the next 60k overhaul -- first one didn't come til I
bought the car with 82,000.
It's in South Plainfield, NJ, convenient to I-287, I-78, NJ Turnpike,
etc. Would love to let it go whole (or at least as whole as it is now)
cheap to a SHO-nut looking for lots of parts, or willing to take the
time to dice it up and sell it off piecemeal. Any interest, lemme know
at mercurio@bellatlantic.net. If anyone in this area knows any potential
taker, please pass it on. Much appreciated.
