Although your battery is reading 12.5 that is sometimes not enough, I have had cases where I needed 13.6 in order to engage the starter. Try getting a boost from somebody or if you have a battery charger with engine start, use that. If that does not work tyr the live connection on the solenoid as th...

My GS has manual seat belts.......To remove the roof, simply peel out the body sealant in the rain gutter ( contour line above door) remove the windshield, back window and headliner then begin drilling spot welds.

Try going to your local NAPA or other parts dealer. I replaced all my mounts 2 years ago after ordering them in from NAPA, in total all mounts only cost me approx. 250.00 Cdn.

Mine is the GS V6 but even so they can order them in for you.

[WTB] roof and headliner

Roof wanted/ needed for '92 GS Would prefer with power sunroof and grey headliner but will settle for basic roof with headliner.

Having a deer bounce off the roof doesn't exactly do the roof any justice.

Thanks for the tip Mr. X, I'll be sure to crawl underneith her and check the exhaust. I'll be pissed if that's all it is in my case, but at least there's one good thing about replacing everything, it was due for it all anyway, especially the cv axels and ball joints, with everything else....after 43...

I went through that once and learned it was at the descretion of the officer, basically if he/ she is blind you're F%^& but if another officer pulls you over with good eye sight, it's all good.
