  • Got # 3 today!

    Yea, I know, I just got # 2 a couple weeks ago, but I couldn't pass this up. It is a '92 GL with aluminum rims, and pretty much all the options! I saw it at a shop about a month ago on my way to the junkyard to get parts for my DD. I stopped in and left a note on it, but I never heard anything. Well, 2 days ago, the guy calls me wanting to sell it. It needs an alternator (which I will steal off of the partstiva), but other than that, it is a pretty good car. The drivers front fender and TS light have some damage, and the drivers door has a good sized dent in it, but hey, I got it pretty cheap. I am planning on picking it up tomorrow, and I will get some pictures then. My driveway is going to look great with 3 mini-circus cars in it. I live in the middle of town too, so my neighbors will get a kick out of it! I have already gotten a couple of comments about having my first, then more with the second, now with 3, who knows what I will hear...

              I am going to take parts from partstiva and fix up #3. Then I will be parting out the rest to whoever wants what's left. That will only leave 2 in the drive for them to complain about...

              Yea... I'm a hoarder, but as bat said, there are other people out there with the same sickness... I'm glad I'm not the only one with festivitus! I think I may be turning my dad too. He thought I was crazy with the two, but he went with me to see #3. On the way home, he offered to by my DD from me as a "backup", but I think he is just getting the fever himself!

              Pics will be posted tomorrow. It may be late tomorrow, because I still have to pick it up, and (those of you who have seen the arena may already know) move my gf/ex-gf into her new apartment. Pics are coming either way though, I promise!

                This is getting entirely out of hand. For your own good, you should sell me the 92 GL. No need to look at my signature, nothing to see here, move along...

                        Well, I promised pictures, so here they are:

                        The interior is clean, but I think I am going to swap the L Plus' interior into it because the drivers door panel is damaged, and I want it to match.


                        The hatch is rusted, like most of the wiper hatches are


                        The drivers door is dented pretty good, and the fender is smashed a little in the front. The oil spot underneath is from partstiva, not this one.


                        The grill is faded and the hood has a little rust on the edge, but nothing major.


                        I wish the whole thing looked as good as the passenger side



                        Well, there she sits. The altenator may need replaced, but the belt is sloppy, so I am going to just replace that first. It has a VC leak, like most, but easy fix. All in all, it looks really good... especially for what I gave for it...

                              You would probably want to kill me if I told you what I have in it... so I will keep it a secret!!!:angel12: It is a good looking car. Once I fix the few mechanical issues with it, I will probably start using it as my DD! Once it becomes my DD, I will change my signature picture.
