Well, it's about time to part out the Blue LS that has all the electrical gremlins. The transmission was probably toasted most of the rest of the way by yours truly getting stuck in the snow in the driveway. Then the headgasket blew. So I'm still driving it, but currently it is out at a former dealership body man's house getting a lot of parts stripped.
I'm talking wheel and body moldings, blue dash pad, dome light (may be pristine once I clean the smoker residue off) Blue vents, all newer (dorman?) window motors and door lock actuators, etc.
Some of this stuff I will keep for spares for myself, some of it is being swapped directly onto my Silver GS. I'm keeping the taillights, headliner and cardboard, heater control head, etc. But I may have the bumpers for sale for local pickup if anyone is interested.
This car is just not worth fixing, I'd have to rewire the entire damned thing and put a drivetrain in it, and I'm only allowed 2 cars at my new place. (seriously, the opera and dome light wiring and more is TOASTED)
I will have a barely used (seriously, ran up and down a couple times) power antenna for sale (don't use the radio in case it was burning out wiring ( I could smell burning wiring when using radio stock or aftermarket).
Will post full list once I have a firm list of what I'm keeping. Buy y'all can throw out requests for parts here, and if I don't have it on this run, I'll remove it before it goes to the junkyard.
Here's the thread from when I first got it with a hell of a lot of pics (note, the swaybars went on the silver car, accidentally posted in the blue car thread) http://www.grandmarq.net/vb/showthre...nd-Marquis-85k
