Have posted several times....cann't believe I've waited so long to join.
Owner of a '92L 5spd (the Skate) purchased new for $4800. Spent the first six years parked at the airport (traveld alot) and driven every day since. The greatest car I've ever owned, driven, or serviced. Never paid a cent to have it worked on.
Recently I completed a full engine overhaul, not a nut or bolt left in place. Only the sterring rack left in the engine compartment...started to burn oil and milage dropped below 35mpg and the clutch was less than a month away from being shot.
Took 3 weeks at night....looks great and better yet....runs like 1992....the best thing to happen, I was able to lift & install the assemblted short block by myself. Not everything went perfect but recoverd well. Worst to happen......4 oil pan gaskets to get a dry pan.
Not much of a customizer.....seat covers only
Anyway...thanks to those who make the effort to support such a site.
Have lots of engine experience and seen just about every thing on my '92L
