I am looking for an NOS windshield washer reservoir for my '89 SC. Would consider used, but would have to be incredibly well preserved and clean inside and out. Don't necessarily need the cap as I have an NOS one that I can use. PM me with what you have and pricing. Cheers! JD

Looking for an 89-90 bumper cover in excellent condition with no breaks or repairs. Paint condition unimportant. Will take a later version without the "SC" if it is excellent. Prefer regional pick up from North Texas, but will arrange shipping for the right piece. Respond with detailed photos...

Photos I would like to have photos emailed to me please. jdavis300@gmail.com. Best Regards, JD

Beautiful survivor! I wouldn't change one single thing. Period. They are only original once. Even if you keep all the original parts and put it back later, it's no longer original in the true sense. My survivor is currently in deep storage while all the others are being modded, driven, beaten...

More update photos. I'll post a few of the finished project this weekend when I have more time.

The car is all back together now, it drives out great, and my Son is thrilled with the swap! What a difference going from a tired AOD to a 5-speed; like a different car. Basically, we pulled everything off the donor car and then restored all the parts. Essentially creating a 5-speed "swap kit"...

Thanks for the kind comments, guys! The car has been a joy to work on so far. It's a SoCal car originally that is just amazingly clean from top to bottom. Makes it easy to do lots of detailing along the way. And yeah, I try to keep my garage squared away for the most part. I have a 30' x 50'...

Just a few random shots of the 5-speed swap project that my son and I are doing to his 90. Picked up an 89 parts car last summer, and have been pulling and restoring 5-speed components off and on since. Last weekend, we pulled the trigger on the swap into his car. Plan to have it back on the...

Is your intent to just make it functional, or to be restoration-correct? The bolt can usually be cleaned up by using a drill to clean out the center and cross holes. A quick trip through the bead blast cabinet will clean up the rest. Then shoot it with an appropriate natural paint, if you're...

Thanks for the input everyone. I think I'll blast it off in my glass bead cabinet to clean up the rust and go with it as-is. It's a totally stock application, so there shouldn't be any problems. Cheers, JD

Here are some shots of the flywheel. In the first, you can see where the pressure plate has held the clutch disk against the flywheel for an extended period. The second photo shows an area where I hit the flywheel with my blast cabinet to see how it cleans up. There is no step-off between where...

Bump! - All those parts cars out there, and no one has even one decent clutch pedal pad?

I'm in the process of swapping a 90 AOD to a 5-speed. The clutch and pressure plate from the donor look very good. Dimensionally, they measure very close to an NOS clutch kit that I have. There's also evidence that the transmission has been rebuilt as well. The donor car has been sitting for...

Also, I posted in the "Wanted" forum for one or two NOS or nice used clutch/brake pedal pads, but haven't gotten much response. Don't know if anyone is looking there very often. Can someone hook me up with one or two? My parts car has one that is marginal, and one that is junk. Thanks, JD

So what I think I'm hearing is to leave the AOD computer in the car to avoid the CEL. Throttle response will not be as sharp as with the 5-speed computer, but will work. Is this right? I only need to get this car through one more damn emissions inspection, then I don't care. I'll swap in the...

I'm performing a 5-speed conversion to my Son's SC. My question, does the computer need to be changed during the swap? The years are as follows: Donor = 1989 (manual) Recipient = 1990 (automatic) I'm assuming that since the transmission isn't computer controlled (as in later years), the...

We checked my son's 90 automatic today, and it has skinny shafts on both sides. So, we've already started detailing the 89 manual "fat shaft", so it's ready to go in with the rest of the swap. We're going to put this thing together just like as if it were a factory 5-speed car. The motor mounts...

Well, just finished pulling the differential and half shafts out of my parts car; it's an 89 5-speed, so it obviously has the fat RH shaft. All the 5-speed stuff is going into my son's 90 automatic car. I'll have him crawl under his car tomorrow, and see what it has. If it has the fat shaft...

No problem; thanks for responding. I just noticed that you're from Glasford, IL. I grew up in Macomb, and have relatives in Washington, IL. I left there many years ago though, and rarely get back, as my folks retired to North Carolina, and my sister moved out of the area also. Cheers! JD

Do all SC's have larger half-shaft diameters on the RH side. Or, is this determined by transmission type, production year(s), or other criteria? Thanks, JD
