Part 2....   Continuing the answer to Dave K.

They are usually 30 or 35 bucks (maybe just for the shell, I'm not sure*), but once
in a while they are on sale for 20, complete.  And, we definitely have plenty of
them.  There's no rust on any of them.  Gen 2 cars are beginning to appear more and
more at this particular yard....Sacramento has 10 times the cars this one does, but
it's an hour one way to get there.

*I know mirrors are about 20-25 each, and window motors are the same.  Plus, they
might charge for the switches and the interior panel.  Door lock solenoids are 15.

........................
I've never been into removing or lowering the subframe to swap a rack (Ian mentioned
the sway bars)....I've been thinking about taking this engine apart to get the
heads, and maybe the tranny.  They have hoists, but I already tried taking an engine
out thru the top, and that was way too complicated.  I can check the book about
removing the rack, but I make no promises about that.  (Plus, I'm a little bit older
than I was when Zach was here....at least my feet and ankles are!!)  ;-)

.........................
The spoiler on this car is not the original one...it is from a Gen 2, and has the
LED brake light array.  I can get it if you want, but it doesn't fit this decklid at
all.  It's ugly!!

Let me know.  

The next time I can get to it is on Monday, in the early afternoon.  The car has
been there for a month, so I don't know how much longer it will be there.  I want
the struts...they are Tokikos....not new, naturally, but definitely newer than
Lowrider's, and it still handles OK....those are softer than new (about 185k miles
on them), but still satisfactory, and they are 28 bucks each off this car.  They'll
suit me just fine for now...I can spend that money for other things.
