There is absouletly no mention of how to fix or replace structural body parts properly to restore any DSM. If there is I would like to know where I can go or who is a specialist in this matter.

Also there is no historical data regarding the orignal body production run that is divided up by colors either interior or exterior. This information would certinly be a great find for any "collector" of these fine cars.

That question could be better answered if you post it in the "site feedback" forum.

Seems like a lot of questions regarding fuel pressure regulators coming up recently. I'd like to see an article dealing with install and maybe with a little more information on them in general. That would help me out.

Chris started this thread so I'm sure he's well aware of it. While there's alot of people requesting articles, there's also alot of people drawing ideas from this thread to write articles. If you know knowledgeable people, point them to this thread and see if they are capable of helping out.

If there's a thread about it, why didn't you read it?

It didn't work.

uh i did read it, the last posts were about people asking if he ever wrote an article and if it worked

I'd like to see a general article on interior weight reduction (back seats, sound deadening, panels, ect). And maybe some ideas on making the interior look a little better after weight reduction while adding minimal weight. I don't have my DSM yet, but I've decided that a 1g GSX fits all my criteria (mainly cost and not FWD ). I could care less about the back seat (I'd rather have a 2 seater anyway) or interior sound levels. I'm not all that crazy about a totally stripped interior though. I've looked everywhere, but can't find any step by steps.

I'd also like to see this, as my dad is doing most of the work during my rebuild, I'm still kind of lost on how it works..

 

[sphinx0nine]

because if hes rebuilding it.. he might know something about it..
