It's just about cherry. When I say cherry I mean its so boring mechanically I've had to pass it on to my wife. So far I have fixed the kickdown switch. Some items need attending to, antenna does not go up all the way, right rear console winter switch doesnt go up, the turbo seems questionable and the transmission needs some tuning.

Does she like this better than the wagon? Looks good bodywise, those problems sound like you will have them solved in short order.

Question, what does the louver setup before the front tire connect to? Is it just styling, or is it venting something?

Does anyone know if the fender with the vent will fit a pre 1990 w124? Like a 1987?
