just got one

hey am steve and i just picked up my 93 SC400 two weeks ago for 1200.00 runs and drives. the tranny is sliping but dont care that much due to the fact that am going to manual swap it. the plan is to swap it and do a tune up and any needed repairs. and after that am going to go over the whole body fixing any dents and repainting it. still looking at colors for it. the intorir is another stroy, needs a new carpet missing door panles and the stero system. but i still love it and can wait to really dive in and bring her back to full life.

My 92 started off just like yours on the inside. I'm still getting the last few parts before re-assembling the interior. I do have to wonder -- where do the door panels go?? How does someone end up missing one or both panels during the course of vehicle ownership?

That's not bad for $1,200.

I've always wondered how people lose an ENTIRE door panel in a car, or any panel for that matter. It just doesn't make any sense to me.
