    I got an 89 LX today

    Well, I have been savin up a little money, and I had to give my brother his Jeep back. So I picked up an 89 LX 4 door today. Only 99,000 miles on it, the guy gave me MANY reciepts for it. New water pump, timing belt, etc... Its white, body is in decent shape, but needs a little work. The interior is really clean. It has the dark red interior. AC and everything works. Only thing that I REALLY dont like, is that it is an AUTO. But I had to get a car, and I really couldn't pass it up. But the tranny shifts WAAAAAAAY better than my sisters LXI. She has almost 200,000 miles on it tho lol. Ill take some pics and post them up when I get my sisters Digicam. I guess Ill be posting much more here now lol.

    Talk to A20A1 about doing the Weber conversion. He has an auto also. You have to mod the throttle linkage to work with an auto. I would get headers too I like mine I just put on. But I have a lot of mods and it took a year to get them all. I could list them but they're obvious mods like custom exhaust and muffler etc...

    PUT SOME NAWZ ON IT AND A BIG WING WITH RACING STRIPES.

    ADD A INTAKE AND THEN YOU CAN DRIVE 500MPH

    Yah im not really planning on doin a lot of mods to it. I'm gonna put an alarm in it tomorrow, mainly for the keyless entry. And I'm gonna put a little bit of a stereo in it too. maybe tint the windows. But thats probably gonna be about it. I got some nice hub caps for it lol. My friend gave em to me, he found them at the car wash he works at.

    Let the problems begin... On the way to work today the hood flew up and bent the brackets up. That was fun. At least it didn't brake the windshield though. But one of the guys I work with has a hookup at an autobody shop, and they had a 3g there. So I got a hood for free . But its blue, but it came with those super cool LED washers :super: . Haha, Oh well, I guess I can't complain about a free hood huh...

    omg and their chrome too??? that's one big steamy bowl of...

    ummmm stuff

    i had mine stolen... yeah the stocks... lol! I just went to the wrecker and paid a buck for the two... they're pretty easy to remove. just be careful not to break the tabs as they are the only thing that holds em on. if you want new i'm sure there's some online store that could sell em to ya but i've had no problem with the junker's specials i'm using...
