Wish i could find a deal like that.

what colour is the interior?
Grey interior Bruce. The leather is in as good of shape as the exterior. Not a mark, stain, or crack anywhere. And since it's been a Victoria car since new..... NO RUST anywhere either.


As for wheels....... If I can find some GP 5 spoke aluminum like on my last car, that's what I'll go with.

So what do you think of the difference between the power of SilverArrow vs Christine? :twisted:

I notice that I have to be careful accelerating from a stop. Those wheels just want to spin. :) I haven't taken it out and really tested it yet.

That's called torque, John, and you've got about 25% more now. :bow:

Make some mods, pop on those rockers, cut out that exhaust plug, add some cold air whine and you'll have another 15%. :twisted:

The headlight washers on the Grizz still work John. You have to push the washer stalk lever to clean the windows and pull it to clean the headlights.....or is it the other way around?

Fly us to Victoria to visit our son and the trunk spring is yours. :wink:

Yes, they do. Without wipers I don't see how they would do any good though.

Yeah I agree, I thought of tryig to get mine to work on the 88, but then realized the work involved in relation to the reward and said,"naaahhh!" That's cool that they work! Wouldn't it be awesome if you could direct the spray over the car at any tailgaters!

Trunk spring is in. Now I know why Paul never offered to help with it. :bluetwitch:

Looks like the other one was replaced also, so now I have 2 green spring rods back there holding up that heavy trunk lid.

Now to put back the rear deck and seat. :ack: One the plus side, I found $3.22 in change back there.

:laughing3:

I didn't think you would have to remove the entire assembly to do the job. Couldn't you simply install the spring in the trunk?

Nope, couldn't get that sucker twisted enough to get it behind the hinge, had to lower the hinge.
You trying to tell me you replaced the springs on the grizz without doing that?

No I had to replace the entire assembly so took the whole thing out and put a silver one in.
I only found $1.25 :P
