The breath of life

Brought back another FC from the dead. I bought it as a mechanics lein with ECU problems. Replaced the OMP and ECU, did some temporary grounding(will be redone properly once the car is running top notch), and it fired right up on the first try. Idle is kinda iffy but a TPS adjustment and permanent grounding mods should clear that up. It is a 91 with the A and B packages. It has never been abused just neglected. A few interior parts and a paint job are all that it needs to be showroom fresh.

A big thanks to those who sold me the parts I needed and to the community in general. The SEARCH BUTTON really does the job.

Good Job.

I love to see people bring cars back to life vs. parting them out.

Mine as well is a revived 7. Rescued from a field with a rusted tight engine.

Yeah it has a little rust by the door handle and on the sunroof but it's just superficial. Nothing is rusted through. It can be sanded off and primered as is. I have to replace the door handle. The mounting stud on it has broken off.
