Re: Newby here

Congrats on the new acquisition, and welcome to the Bonneville family.

And yes, pictures are definitely needed.

Re: Running a Series 1 L67 in 2020? Parts? Issues?

The one nice thing about 90s cars is no CAN Bus stuff, BCMs that need programming, etc. Current draws and other issues are easier to diag.

At this point the better the metal on the car you get is, the more the interior/exterior plastics/rubber got baked and dried out from either the sun or just ...

Re: Running a Series 1 L67 in 2020? Parts? Issues?

Electronics and almost everything interior is a safe bet you're going to have that issue with any 90's car. A good way to check is to see if RockAuto has parts available.

For the most part the C and H body cars have the major parts available still. If the touring sedan had a stiffer suspension or ...

Re: Running a Series 1 L67 in 2020? Parts? Issues?

I would think random body and interior bits would be your biggest issue at this point, assuming a rust free car.

That isn’t discouraging! My plan is to find as nice a Touring Sedan as there is in existence. Likely a rust free, southern car. It’s only gonna be a weekend toy anyway. Just seeing the ...

Running a Series 1 L67 in 2020? Parts? Issues?

I’m thinking of digging up a 92-93 Olds Touring Sedan with the Series 1 L67. Was just curious how they are aging now. Are parts available for them? Have there been any age related issues coming up that are making them undrivable? I’d appreciate your thoughts!

Re: 99 Montana 3800 swap project

*dang*. This is one of the best threads on the internet. Amazing work. And I love the fact that it isn’t a Camaro or Mustang that is getting all of the love.

If I find my dream Touring Sedan (does anyone else in the world dream of a 1992-93 Touring Sedan? Supercharged, of course!), can I send it to ...

Re: 2003 BMW M5

Great thread. Great info.

The E39 to me is Peak BMW. It never got better then that. I’d probably be ok with just a 530, with the BBS wheels, of course.

Re: ONBF Official Meet Thread July 19-20th

Just reminiscing....

That was a good day! Some great folks who I haven’t seen in way too long.

I remember my bloody car was acting up on the drive back. My new super duper plug wires were too long, and one was grounding against something. But good trooper that she was, she got me home safe.

Old Timer Dropping By To Say Hello

Hi everyone.
Used to spend a lot of time around these parts, and got to meet a lot of great folks. Was thinking of my LSS, GXP and 98 recently, so I thought I’d say hello.
I tried to reactivate my old account, Bigerik, but while the posts are still here, the software didn’t recognize my email ...
