CAR HUNT! or BOF & me car shopping!
I keep telling my wife that people throw away better cars then I can afford to buy... I have been wanting a LeBaron convert for awhile and people keep asking $3000 for rusted out beaters and then you throw in the comment about taking this one to the melters...
Is it a V6 or four banger? I have a tranny for a 2.5L 1994 Shadow...

Melter?
Are you kidding??!!!
I have always liked that year LeBaron and was bummed when I took the white one in for the "melter". The white one from earlier chapter will still be in the yard and I will be going there for the trim piece under the gas door and some other things I can find. I would like to find a different set of Aluminum type rims for it.
ABodyBetty and I used to own a newer style Sebring Convert but sold it after replacing water pump! Always liked that car till we had to pay for repairs. This one will be different with the Mitsu V-6! It runs like a scalded dawg!!
Tranny checked out good. Will be our new daily driver. It was brought back to our local dealer every 3000 miles for service and the dealer here has complete records of the car for me to reference anytime! They said the car was totally spoiled before I bought it and the daughter told me it was garage kept always. I hadn't seen the car last year when I was there buying their old pontiac! It's still not due for service for anothe 1500 miles!
Saturday I put on new tail pipe and muffler. Monday I put new rear monroe gas shocks on it and bought a set of badly needed struts. Also tore the spoke wheel covers apart and got them looking like new again. Reassembled and reinstalled. The struts are in the trunk waiting for Yard Dawg to put them on for me. They will have to be on and realigned by Sat AM due to ABodyBetty and our boy driving it to Louisville to visit ABB's Mom.
Polished out trunk deck, looks good. Wet sanded furry black stuff off hood but can still see stains and cat prints. The black stuff forms on everything close to the distillery and the car was parked right next door to the plant. Will be repainting it after the Louisville trip.
Will be tracking down a badly needed top boot cover so as not to rip the headliner, riding with the top down! Also will be checking into those leaking valve cover too!
This 92 LeBaron will be in our possesion a while!!:yawinkle:
