    My 1st TC I need some parts and tips

    in Chrysler's TC by Maserati

    Posted

    It looks like the hood on my car was replaced or repainted.

    It is a bad color match and appears to be single stage as the rest of the car has a clear coat.

    The emissions decal is on the cowel but I saw no decal with paint code.

    An observation I made under the hood. The ignition wires say Sumotomo 1989.

    That's not the year the wires were produced is it? They are in remarkably great shape. Makes no cents, the car is a 91.

    Lots of hail damage on this pig. I will learn painless dent repair on it.

    All the TC's had 2 stage paint, basecoat and then clearcoat. Make sure they look under Maserati for the paint because U.S. Chrysler colors are close but different enough to be easily noticed.

    1991 TC

    Looking at a 1991 TC, shows 84,000 miles, needs CV joints, no radio.

    Interior & body in very good condition, has the hardtop. Runs good.

    Asking $2000, is it worth it?

    Im in ct and I think I just bought the car you describe.

    Did you ever buy it and resell it?

    anybody looking for parts?

    I just sold a reatta and picked up a 91 tc with 85,000.

    It needs a radio and speakers, cv joint and some minor cosmetic stuff.

    Does anyone have stock radio and speakers to sell me?

    The slave cd player is there so stock radio and infinity speakers and grills would be awesome.

    Also advance auto doesnt sell a cv axel for a tc but they have one for a 91 Lebanon vert with 3.0. Isn't that the same part?

    Thanks fellas,

    I asked advice on what to do with the wheels in another thread.

    I ended up doing white Plasti-dip coating, topped with gloss Fusion white. Masked everything off and did the inside holes with SEM trim satin black and sharpied the buick letters.

    Gloss should make brake dust wash off well and black accents should hide brake dust for the new owner.

    Pleastidip can be removed if the new owner does not like white revealing original aluminum finish. I didn't want it looking like a select 60 fake. I think it looks ok.

    I needed the 17" aftermarket wheels and tires for another project and the consensus was people like oem wheels better that buy that type of car.

    I don't think the rust is anything terrible. Gas tank and other stuff looks pretty solid. Just surface rust.

    My white '89 was from Michigan, and I replaced EVERYTHING underneath the car. gas tank, fuel lines, brake lines, rear end, etc. It was pretty bad. the gas tank was flaking to pieces from the rust. This is barely anything comparably.

    Looks like a very nice car for the money. White wheels look sharp! Good luck, Franco.

    Some suggestions I received were to wire brush the bottom and apply an undercoat of just not show photos of the undercarriage.

    If I were Bidding on or buying the car I'd want all the information I put out and not just fluff.

    Especially with eBay I don't want to hide anything and have the bidder not pay.

    It really is just an honest car that would be a cruise night special or drive to work on sunny days. I realize it is probably not a

    10,000 car. What I get is what I get. I do apprEciate the feedback and tips.

    1990 Convertible, must go!

    It was on Hemmings for a month one guy paid to have it inspected locally and then did not buy because he found one closer. Inspection report just said all was good except A/C and that has been done. One other caller said he would rather bid on ebay, so here ya go!

    This car is all there, no problems. I am not giving it away but I will let it go on the cheap.

    Best r134 conversion kit?

    in Buick Reatta

    Posted

    What I did on Mustang is I bought new accumulator/dryer.

    Pulled compressor off and poured in ac flushing fluid and manually spun the compressor to clean out oil.

    I hanged every o ring and spring.

    I put It all back together and brought it to a shop that checked for leaks. No leaks and they purged and filled.

    I was going to do this on Buick once I have it checked to see if the r12 top off is a better option.

    Hi my 90 vert still runs r12 and works ok but could be better.

    As many of you have done the. Conversion what is the best kit out there?

    I want complete with o rings Esther oil, springs, fittings etc.

    I had really good luck with Napa kit on a mustang I did.

    Part number vendor and price would be great too.

    Thanks for the tips everyone. I will get some better pictures. There was snow on the ground when I wanted to place the ad which is why I did not get any outside pics.

    I have about 8 hours of detailing into the car. It was buffed and detailed by a professional and I. Does the car look dirty?

    What should I put in the ad to get people to know I'd consider lower offers than the other cars on that site?

    As for the wheels I haven't painted the stock ones yet and am trying to buy another set from an eBay seller .
