I just had my 242 turbo repainted and the body shop was supposed to install the new sunroof seals I had provided. They said they couldn't figure out how to install them. I'm assuming the metal sunroof panel needs to be removed to instal it? Anyone done it recently?

Is there a thread on turbobricks for wrong fixes by previous owners(not just tbrick style)? My recently acquired 80 242 DL has quite the list of "fixes" made by the previous owner. Most recent example: -Got the alternator back from getting rebuilt, installed it, still not charging. I decide to...

Of course my newly acquired 855 has a broken dash mount:grrr: I really don't want to remove my dash to fix that squeak! I've seen how to fix it by removing the entire dash and re-gluing the broken mount but removing the steering wheel/airbag makes me uncomfortable. Would it be possible just...

My commute is increasing and driving a car that gets sub 15mpg is not a real option so I'm considering buying a 850. I've found a ultra clean 855 turbo with a blow head gasket. The owner states that the cars cooling fan malfunctioned and the car over-heated. It was towed to her mechanic and they...

I got some leather seats out of a 90+ 244 a few days ago and I have a few basic interior questions. 1st. The car that I got them out of had seat warmers and I would like to go back and get the wiring and the switches out of it. How would I go about doing this? 2nd. All of the seats and the...

Today I was passing someone on the interstate got hard into boost and when I let off it started making this grinding/popping noise above 30mph. Everything still works fine, shifts smooth 1-4th gear and overdrive is working as normal. The noise and vibration appears to be coming from somewhere...

I have found a excellent pair of black leather seats. Problem is they are out of a 90 244. Can I take the fabric and foam out of the 90 244 seats and install them on my 82 242 seat frame? Or will I have to run the 4-door seats and frames? Thanks for the help;-)

I went out for a drive and brought my xti. the deer tower tree road

Since my ac has ben fixed I have noticed that the passengers side floor was kinda damp. This led me to believe that the drain on my air conditioner was not working. I can also hear water hitting the fan under acceleration. Where is the drain located at? Is it easy to unclog?
