Hey, at least owning a couple of Corrados taught me how to replace door handles..

And another update..it's a 94. Internet research tells me so-after looking for the owners manual..and discovering that there's no glove box in this one. There is the dreaded "SRS" brand on that beautiful wood panel.

Seems that the space where there used to be a glove box on earlier models was filled by a #($%&@(#$%&@#()$%@)#$(%#$(%&)@#($&%@#$%& air bag on the passenger side. Oh, well...at least having the child-killing explosives installed means the damn thing has real seat belts instead of that motorized E36 M3. Still, I wonder if an airbag blasting through a wooden veneer will spray us all with fragments like the combat scenes in "Master and Commander"..

Yeah, I think Logan's going to be sitting in the back seat until he's 20. Hell, now that I know what I know, I think I may sit back there m'self.

If you're so convinced that cars were safer in 84 than 94, why dont you just unplug the airbag?

Just as soon as the shop manual arrives. No way I'm sticking my hands in that wiring harness without a schematic..

And the thing only smokes out of one tailpipe now (instead of both, like it did when we brought it home) on startup. I guess that means half the valve seals have been re-lubricated. Giving it another week of her DD use, and then see what it's doing. Oil level is still the same on the dipstick..I'm hoping that means just a few drips in the cylinders, and not a major leak.
