  1. Wow, sure seems like you did it correctly. Doing what you did can you guesstimate the amount of hours involved for that job? Thanks for posting and explaining the work involved.
  2. Hard to think that any auto parts store that carries Dorman parts would not have that piece. Has to be something that would fail every so often and a generic made part would work? At least that is where I would check second, the dealer that sells GM products first.
  3. On my 91 I have 2 buttons inside the console. One for the gas door, one for the trunk release.
  4. Oh Please give us more information. I don't own one of those years but think they are something I may end up with in my future.
  5. Looks like an excellent job and now it is all set to drive and enjoy.
  6. It is but we get that white stuff in the winter so we head out to warmer places. Normally gone for 4 or 5 months. leave the Avanti all covered up in the warm garage.
  7. I too live in Az now, up in Prescott, where are you living?
  8. Wives are like that, our/her 91 convert started out as mine, but now is her's. She does let me keep it clean and filled with gas, and if anything acts funny or doesn't work, then its mine. Wishing you a great summer of cruising in "her" car...
  9. I was waiting to hear you post how the car is overall, and what is the list of things your going to do to it. I personally think it would be a great addition to mygarage, but as I posted my wife said NO WAY!!
  10. Wow, that is very impressive, other than a bit of money on your part and time, looks like a professional did it. Great Job.
  11. How exciting for ypu. You have to keep us/me updated on the repairs and corrections you do to keep this one looking great. Glad it is going to a good home. Yea, them wives are always trying to keep us from having fun....but they nornally come around, or change our minds.
  12. That was my exact words, its just one more!!
  13. I asked my wife if we could have another one, I like your car, but was informed we only need ONE!! So best of luck selling.
  14. What year is your conv? Looks a lot different than my 1991.
  15. That was what it was based off of. I think there is also one? or two with a Mustang under pinnings.
  16. Stacey

    Avanti Lamp!

    Well for sure they needed at least one, so being they did things a bit different, maybe they installed 2. So 2 is the answer....
  17. Will be interesting to hear if there is a noticeable difference in heat and noise. Looks like you did a good job installing that first layer.
  18. Looks like it really opend up the front of the motor removing the standard fan. Nice job
  19. Don't know what they came from, but I just had two seats redone for my motorhome at the airport interior guy. He used aircraft approved wool and vinal to replace the "fake leather" they were made with. Turned out looking 100% better than they were and was a lot less expensive than going to the auto interior guy. Hope your able to get what your looking for.
  20. Just got the latest Bring a Trailer post and a 1982 is listed. Just in case anyone happens to be looking for one. https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1982-avanti-2/
  21. DCS Computer Series 3, have to ask what is this? What year is it installed in?
  22. WOW, your writting is supurb, very discriptive and factual. Such a shame you got such a screwed over car from the dealership that protrayed that car as something special. Well it was special, a real basket case. Just not told to you. Hope the new owner can and will contiune the rebuild and show us here how it turns out.
  23. Quite a few years ago I broke a drive shaft and was surprised to find that cardboard inside, wondered why and an older guy said they absorb noise and vibration? Sounded good at the time.
