I'm guessing you only read the first post, Dan.

He bought it.



What about some interior pics? Is it thrashed? That's where most newbies go wrong thinking they can fix the interior cheaply.

I bought it all right Long story short, tensioner set screw was backed all the way out. New timing belt, laso water pump, rebuilt tensioner, new fuel lines etc. rattle gone! Runs like a dream.

Interior is beautiful. I'll post pics when I get a chance. There are some slight cracks in the leather dash cover material by the defroster vents, but thats about it.

Thanks for the offer Greg! This job is done. But I'm sure there will be more down the road. Whereabouts are you in CT?

Here are some crappy pics of the interior. It's all I have right now though.

That looks really nice. Well kept. Good to hear rattle is gone. My 89 has 146k and has several minor rattles all over.
