12 pin cable coming in the mail under separate cover. Got a WB02 with a 1/8" (stereo mini) male output?

The 12 pin connector on an '88 is physically part of the LH harness itself, so it'll be there already.

The ST2 includes a pigtail that will allow you to connect the bare wire ends of the LC-1 to it. I'll throw that in.

Not so fast there Bucko. He is coming over to my garage with some calipers to crawl around our newest edition.

I'm hoping he'll be smitten.

<======It's right there.

Joe - shhhhh...cart before the horse...



Water pump was bad.
It had overheating issues before the pump was installed, so there still may be other problems.


Knock sensor wires are losing their covers.
ABS harness wires too.
Coolant tank yellow, near crumbling.
Not certain the mileage (43K miles) is accurate.
IIRC, it did live in Arizona, though, maybe the heat?


Looks like the car took a hard hit back when the fender got wonked.
An entire chunk of engine, including all of the lower A/C mounts, has been welded back on.

I'm new to the group. Here is my 89 car in the Marketing video I did for CA colission.

It's pretty clean with some minor heater issues & leaks. I really like this car & have owned an 85 & an 87.

1/2 price on motors right now, if it comes to that. I wouldn't think so, though.

The repair seems to seal, at least.
I think it's welded, but it could be JB-weld.


Needs lots of plastic things to be more perfect.
The shroud for the rad fans is a bit messed up, for example.

BTW, that fan assembly is a nice piece.
Comes out easily, exposing the front of the engine.

Spoiler is cracked.


Time to start the 1/2 priced list.

Thanks Colin.



What does this look like? Alumaloy? Welding?

Note locally made blockoff plate for replacement pan.
