Default Some good news on the '90.......
I guess if there is any.......looks like the rear bumper which is kind of unobtainium nowadays, is serviceable.......also, gas tank, and all of that surrounding assembly is still intact with minimal damage....after disassembly, actually I think it is more encouraging.........it can be fixed. My body guy explained how he will line it up, and it will be as good or better than new.


Fresh paint will help with the 100 road chips that have been touched up on the nose, and a few other little flaws.......I have about $25k to work with, and my body guy wants about $15k.......should be all good.

Well since there was so much damage to the rotors, and calipers, it will be receiving new calipers and rotors all around, with 14" Wilwoods up front and 13s out back..this will be quite the upgrade, and substantially better than new.
