  1. I appreciate the last two posts. Howard, what do you think will be the costly work? I can honestly say I have never owned such a neglected car but I do really like it and would make it my main transportation. Also does anyone know what kind of repair manual to buy and where to get one?
  2. thanks for all the posts, i think the original color of the exterior was gold(so says the title i have) but at some point it had been painted white. The interior is the tan color. I tried to assume that it would be some bad connections due to the moisture, the car was sitting in Mississippi, and I live in Mobile, Alabama. As a matter of budget i plan to do everything over time, immediately I had planned for the new carpeting, replace any interior molding or pieces that need it, and the steering wheel(maybe steering column-not sure why but flexes downward with a little pressure.) My AC delco cd player doesn't work but it gets power, minus that the antenna works, radio, and 3 of the four speakers, not bad i'd say. The headlights have been messed with to their detriment but i think the repair kit can fix that, I should be getting some time to work on the car next week, so i'll keep everyone posted. The car had 114068 on the title that was issued for it in 2001, it now has 114215(when it came on last i took a picture)
  3. I recently bought a 1990 reatta for $800 from a salvage yard! Strikes me as a deal, but my wife would mention its so cheap because it has been sitting up for 8 years, with several leaks around the door trims and rediculous amounts of mold growing inside. However i call it a deal because it runs very good and the body is in perfect condition minus the paint. The bad is whats above stated and the instrument cluster has only worked twice, I came on while I drove it home from purchase(125 miles)-and it came on while going to haggle with alabama license commissioner about getting a title transferred for it. As far as me to get the car into good condition, i need to know what suggestions does anyone have for replacing the steering wheel..it is really moldy and malformed by years of moisture. Can anyone give me some options to changin the steering wheel out? Also instrument gauge doesnt work properly, matter of fact it shows error and 00 for the speed limit-it did however come on while i drove home from original purchase(120 mile drive and it displayed the wrong speed it has flashed on one other time since. Anyone have advice, i still don't have my manual yet so i'm proceeding with caution and advice, Thank you for your help
