• Ok. I picked up the money pit car from the shop before lunch and went for a little test drive.
  
  Pros: Steering response is quicker and more precise. I chalk this up to the new control arm and steering rack bushings along with the align…

• I went with H&R Sport springs. They're a little bit stiffer than stock and lower just about an inch. I didn't want to go any lower and, because of that, I won't need bumpsteer stuff or offset rack bushings.
  
  Dampers are Bilstein and…

• THREE (3) DAYS.
  
  The suspension is in, sans PHB. The car sits a little lower now and the 1/4 mile I drove it to park it in the lot at work (appointment for aligning is Tuesday) it felt different. We'll see how it handles on the road.

• Buh. Two days into this project and I'm finally at the point of not taking anything else off of the car. Both front springs were rusted into the a-arms. I had to cut one with a cutoff wheel (after using the spring compressor) to get it out. I th…

• I'll be attacking the car today. The base's hobby shop doesn't open till noon, so I hope I can get it all done in one day. (Minus the TA).

• If you don't mind me asking, what'd the new top cost you?

• I'm replacing the springs, shocks/struts, and a few bushings that I haven't gotten to yet. I'm also putting their panhard bar and caster/camber plates in.
  
  I figure if I've got to rip it all apart to replace 20 year old things I might as…

• Oh Maximum Motorsports... how you tempt me.
  
  $1500 later... New suspension is enroute! Goodbye 20 year old crap!

• My plans are to have a restomod car that's fun to drive without altering the outward appearance of it too much.
  
  Since the top half of the engine has been replaced with Trick Flow stuff, I don't really plan on putting it back into stock t…

• Yep! A buddy of mine with an 89 coupe showed me his Marti report, resulting in me ordering up mine.

• Hot diggity!
  
  I got my Marti Report today.
  
  Nothing unexpected but... now I have to find one of the stereos that was slaved with the graphic EQ. FML.

• I work at Scott AFB and I've seen another 92 like mine on base. I haven't seen who drives it, though.
  
  I'm hoping there's a swap meet at the Fun Ford Weekend in August. I would love to find a new dash there.

  It was taken at the Brussels ferry on the Illinois River just north of Grafton, IL. (A stone's throw from where it joins with the Mississippi.)

• Hm. Interesting.
  
  And it isn't as nice as it looks. That's it's good side!
  
  The passenger door has a wrinkle in it from someone bumping it. Nothing bad, just a litte ugly.
  
  After the top gets replaced, I'll see ab…

  That would be me and my car.! I was down from St Louis to see a friend that lived nearby.
  
  I picked up the car in Febuary and it is in the Money Pit phase after 20 years of neglect. A new top is going to be the next re…
