I was going to host a BBQ...

...last year, but a few years back I had some folks over (*new* friends), and the following weekend when I was out of town, a bunch of parts disappeared off my cars out back. Of course everyone denied doing it, and most of those guys stopped hanging around here and started badmouthing me. HA! I'm the one that got ripped off!

I got really distrustful of folks back then and shy'd away from meeting new people for a few years. 'Bout time I got my *** back out there- I'd love to attend if y'all arrange something! Not sure how everyone feels about coming to Greenville, but the community center here is fairly good size (indoors & out) and I could check into reserving it or whatever if that could be done...

Neal.

LOL! Sorry, obviously just kidding- that's the kind of messages I always used to get when I used to sell cars and parts on eBay. I had a '90 turbo vert with a blown engine that I never touched after I bought it (bought it blown already), so I let it go to clear the garage space (that was back in 2000 or so). Had it up on eBay- the offers I got- all of which were in the same broken ebonics English as above- were hilarious!

Seriously though, if you do go to sell it let me know. I won't give you enough to buy an FD, but if I can afford it and she's nice enough, I just might buy her.

Neal.
If only that '90 turbo vert was running. I can’t really tank on any new projects (just bought a new TV and still making payments, 7 months to go )

I probably won’t sell it but I’ll let you know if I decide to.
Then only two things that helps this cars body in Michigan weather is the previous owner had the underbody, engine bay and panels where zbarted (sp) and its never driven in the winter. So its pretty mint for a 28yr old car.

I have been looking at the Konig REWINDS with graphite centers. That should look good what do you think?


Here is a better pic

Looks nice, Challer. I personally like them bone stock, especially the limited production cars like the LS, 10th Anns, etc. don't care for aftermarket wheels on our LSs at all, sorry.

Wish I would have known about you a few years ago. I had a really clean rust free, repainted 1990 GTU red on black that I let go of pretty cheap ($3100 back in 2000 or so).

Neal.

Yah I understand where you’re coming from on aftermarket parts. The original owner replaced the stock wheels with the keystone that you see in the pics also installed a Kenwood tapedeck, which they had to trim it to fit. Tape deck quit working last summer so I just put in CD player since the CD player and the tape deck where the same size.

I have the stock rims but I think there pitted beyond repair (I can take pics if you like)

OK.. I'll check into the community center just so we have the info, in case. I'll post once I have an answer (probably Monday or Tuesday).

Mike,

Greenville is 1 - 1.5 hours away from K'Zoo, depending on traffic. Not far at all.

Lansing is about 1hr and 30min away; anything farther is just too long of a drive without cruse control.

I haven't check in on this section in a while. I'm here in Michigan, and you happen to live in my town so you're lucky.

Shoot me a PM and we'll have a cold one sometime...

Get on the Michigan forum and introduce yourself. Plenty of locals here with the parts you need, and the experience to go with it.
