[90 Driftwood Convertible on Ebay]

I was considering the 91 that Bill Kay in Chicago has for sale,  the car fax list it as a branded title true millage unknown.  I agree with Cargirl  that it looks to have more miles than listed

resetting the computer by disconnecting the battery did work to allow it to take a charge but then the clutch started smoking  so I guess I will be replacing it

that's what I thought.  It is not taking a charge. compressor clutch not engaging  Any ideas what to check

[What did you do to your Reatta today? <ongoing thread>]

This what I did during the cold Indiana winter to the select sixty 

1. changed plugs, wires, ECM , and new coil pack

2. replaced brake accumulator, brake pads, rear calipers and bled systems.

3.  re soldered all ground wires under both seats, after doing this every electrical items are working  except cd player and cruise control.

4. replaced the headlight arms and bushings with parts from Barney Eaton

5. changed oil, filter, transmission fluid and filter   

6. replaced the 12 year old tires   no more shaking  above 45 MPH

7.  installed replacement factory radio bought from scrap yard   no more buzzing sounds from speakers

8. replaced headlight dash switch to replaced the original worn one bought from same scrap yard for 35.00

9. replaced front stabilizer bars

10. cleaned, polished and waxed.

What is left is to change drive belt ( looks like motor mount may need to be remove) may change water pump while in there .

might look into why cruise and CD are not working.  The ABS light is on and sensor leads are frayed, one day I may fix but brakes work just fine and I do not really need ABS. 

After that enjoy top down warm weather.

I bought the car in Sept 2017 drove the 220 miles home and parked to work on. After spending time working on the 60 I think that the miles of 89K must have been put on during the first part of life. The car I think has been parked and not used too much in many years, but well taken care of.  It shows no rust at all, except the exhaust.  

I am just waiting for warm weather.

that it was awarded to a dealer in PA makes sense,  the little amount on the car fax shows it was in a  Philadelphia auto auction earlier this year before coming to Indiana where I bought it,
