That's would be me. We ran into each other a few years ago when you saw me on I485 and we talked at the south Charlotte Fresh Market for awhile. Haven't had the car out much the last few weeks with al ...

Today would have been my dad's 94th birthday. A couple of June 15th milestones for 1986 #118.

Probably close to the date 37 years ago that he bought #118 red convertible with the full package at Hi ...

On my '86, the rocker with the raised dot is for the seat heater and when the forward side with the dot is pressed down, the seat heater should turn on and there is a light within the rocker switch to ...

Congratulations!

A couple of weeks ago I finally got around to taking care of a bunch of nagging issues (window motors, door rattles, speedo cable chirp, windows not sealing tight to the top gaskets, etc.) I've been h ...

My '86 does not have the defrost function and it is in original condition.

This does not mean that asc did not get some with it and leave it in, as we've all seen that there are a lot of small diff ...

Go to ascmclaren.com to the Service Manuals section. There is a 2 page section for "Door". this has a one page written description and a one page diagram. The first few steps describe removi ...
