Hey redis you should join up on www.eurowerks.org unless you already have. a buddy of mine started the site and they are all sweet peeps. we have a ddrive we are going on the 15th. you should come! | | | 10-05-2006, 06:20 AM | #15 | Senior Member Join Date: Nov 2004 Location: Minneapolis Posts: 1,587 | Quote: Originally Posted by shaneco13 so doing some searching and ive come to this. i am gonna be going to check out this 1995 ti. things to look for are: headliner, window reg's, and the b-pillar. i will also be checking if they have maint. records/ history, and what has/ has not been replaced or needs to | Even though a car may have issues with a saggy headliner, or a bad window regulator, I wouldn't rule out buying a car with those problems. The headliner thing is just saggy fabric, so it's not really a big deal. $25 in new fabric and adhesive, plus a few hours will fix that. If you haven't searched yet, a broken window regulator is a DIY job, without a doubt. But it will set you back about $110 for all the parts. | | | | | Currently Active Users Viewing This Thread: 1 (0 members and 1 guests) | | Posting Rules | You may not post new threads You may not post replies You may not post attachments You may not edit your posts HTML code is Off | | | |
