It's even colder today, -33C and going down to -45 tonight.

that's with a wind chill factor.

The 92 isn't all that nice, wait til I take some pics of it in the daylight and in the spring. you'll see the flaws.

that's damn cold, not as bad over here :)

so why is that a parts car? engine dead?

No, the engine runs, car drives and stops.

There's no MVI on the car, the Fenders are rotted out pretty bad, a cracked sunroof, power locks don't work, trunk can only open from the inside, seats are slightly ripped, cracked plastic on the sideview mirrors, power steering doesn't work.

Just not worth putting the money into it for restoration so I'm going to strip it for parts and sell what I don't need.

It shouldn't be too bad to fix most of those things if you wanted to keep it. Is it just the front fenders? They always rot, but usually the car's pretty solid underneath and fenders are pretty cheap. People here have gotten PS pumps for around $100 and the other things are small. Of course, that's if its worth it to you. I get sentimental about cars and probably work too hard to save them anyway...

It's extremely cold here, too -20F with windchill.

Is the car a 5MT :D

nope, it's an auto.

I haven't really even assessed the total car yet, I bought it in late november and parked it, I don't know anything about the underside, suspension, brakes etc.

I don't really have the time or money to restore and resell it.

When I post the pics of what's wrong the prices will add up, and for what I payed for it, It's worth more to me in parts and selling it in pieces than as a whole.

I hear you.

They're a rare breed.

Lucky there are a bunch of nuts like us out there, parting out some, and restoring others :)

Are those sidemakers good? (The ones on the back of the wheel well) and if so would you sell them?? I want a set to put on my 91 cant find em anywhere.

Sorry,

Sidemarkers are going to be a side project of mine.

If I change my mind I'll sell them though.

What color interior? I could use:
Light Gray Carpet
Front seat belts incl: B pillar trim and A pillar trim
Rear wing (if mine isn't salvageable)

:D

I can get P/S pumps for $20 out of the U-pull, complete with pulley and resevoir...many times they are fairly new units (from cars people got tired of fixing) :D

Weld the front and rear differentials. Cut the line controlling the center differential. Remove all interior as possible. Lower the tire pressure and play.
