I own a 1992 white L rust free body would give someone to haul away. Hood and one door need minor repair but rest in very good shape. Problem for most is that I live in Norther New Mexico.

Also,own a wrecked 1992 LS with all good, essentially brand new, mechanical parts including the engine. ONLY HAS 2792 miles on it.

Lee, you're finally thinking of offloading the longtime side project & parts car? You've had them as long as I can remember!

I can always use one more...

Yep have had a long time. Will probably put the engine out of the wrecked one in the Silver. Of course think I might have said that years ago too

This is still my "baby" but don't drive very often anymore.

Next I would like to paint the wheel arches, but first I have to repair my sister's R2. The engine replacement was originally scheduled for next spring.

The damage to the R2 engine has gotten pretty bad so I need to hurry up with this job. My sister is renting a car while it's being repaired and there will be costs involved so we need to get it done quickly.

Today I cleaned the engine compartment and CVT and separated the engine and CVT. Tomorrow I am planning combine the new engine with the transmission and put it back in the car.

Yesterday I put the new engine and transmission back in the engine bay.
It will probably take another day to put the exhaust, drive shaft and suspension parts back together.

The used newer engine is in good condition with 8000 miles on it. It's quiet and powerful and the car feels refreshed. I plan to test it out for a few days and then give it back to my sister over the weekend.

Next week I'll be back working on my wife's car.

Yesterday a friend asked me to refresh the suspension on his DIT Legacy. It looks like I'll be busy still for a while.

Looking good!

Yesterday I installed a replacement rear seat upper in my 1992 SVX.

This weekend, I hope to work on the steering rack installation, transmission fluid change, and reinstall the exhaust.
