    Thanks for the update x2.:)
    I'll be waiting with bated breath for the pics.
    I had no doubts about the car making it.;)

    I would of driven mine back from San Diego but the gas and other traveling expenses would of cost way more than the transport did. The car would of never made it the way the oil cooler lines and adapter were leaking unless I had a drum of oil feeding the engine strapped to the roof.:D
    I picked up an O ring kit from NAPA and it took me about an hour to fix them, rust and corrosion free cars are so nice and easy to work on.

    As long as boneyard pics are being posted here while waiting for Mike's pics and debriefing look at the cream puff '92 RMW that I found this weekend at a local establishment.
    A majority of the cars in there had two to ten Christmas tree air fresheners hanging from the rear view mirror???
    I wonder why?? :(

    The third member was gone, other than that it was pretty complete. I only needed the main window switch and the keyless entry module. The seats are bad, the rest of the interior is pretty good considering, rust city otherwise.
    If you want to open the tailgate the key is above the visor.:D

    Interesting! I've followed your adventures on YouTube actively RatMaster but I don't believe that I've ever actually encountered you here or on GMLongRoof. I'll PM you and perhaps we can make an arrangement for some of your spare parts.

    Looking forward to seeing some pics. Not too many OCCs around anymore. I'm sure there are still quite a few being used as beaters still which unfortunately means they will wind up in a scrap yard. Maybe some of those will live to be parts cars though instead of being crushed.

    Eager to read about your adventures. Glad you started a new thread. Some of the members here got off topic. When will they learn ?:biglaugh:
