89 Riv.parts

[Guest WEB 38]

Found at my local boneyard an 89 Riv. Is there any thing I should pull for my 90 Reatta? WEB 38

Not much will fit in your '90 from the Riv.. But get some stuff like the dash, lights and wipers switches, CRT, and the wood grain dash if it has it.

Engine parts (I.e. coil pack, MAF sensor, etc.) will fit though. Always good to have spares.

I would go back with a portable power station and power the car up. If the Instrument Cluster/CRT/Headlight/Wiper pods light up I would take that. Check in the trunk and grab the EBCM and if equiped the compass module. Also the following, ECM, BCM, CCRT, Radio, Then at the front/rear wheels, the ABS sensors if so equipped w/Teves. Go under the hood and grab the pump and motor also if Teves eqiped.

What I typically pay is $10.00 each for the following; Headlight, Wiper pods, ABS sensor leads, EBCM.

$5.00 for the Compass Module, Radio, CCRT, Headlight Control Module.

$20.00 for the rest; Instrument cluster, CRT,ECM, BCM.

The Teves pump and motor is worth up to $30.00 Also check for made in Belgium stickers on the Accumilator and pressure switch, if there grab them Don't pay more then $10.00 each on those either.

You could also grab the woodgrain trim panels [No more then $25.00]

Then come to the forum and sell it for about 3-5 times what you paid for it.

You will find that if you explain that these parts are off a 22 year old car and you have really no way of testing them until they are on your car they will go cheap. They really have no idea [other the the instrument cluster what you are buying and they really only want to sell steel,

And while there look for a 92-94 GM car with 3800 (not 3300) and grab the Delco ignition assembly. You will need one. Eventually.
