: Please, no nasty letters about being a Chrysler guy.
No prob!
: I'm thinking new carpet, four bucket seats, new paint and a kick-butt stereo after I get the suspension thing straight.
Well, I know JV whitney has a catologe that offers replacement carpet for Mavs... they should do the same for Comets too!
: The body's in good shape, only a few rusted areas, and when I first went to buy it, it had been sitting in the driveway for 3 days and it started first try. All this for only $350!
*grin*
:What suspension/brake,interior parts from later cars will work?
: I've seen mention of Granda/Monarch suspensions being an easy swap. What about a radiator from one of these cars? Brakes? Interior? Any pitfalls I should look for there?
None that I know of.. if you need to replace the breaks check out the FAQ for a great article!
: And what about specifications on such things as timing, camber, caster, toe in/out?
Another good source for parts is an Autocrafter's catologe... they sell the Chiltons guide...
: Sorry about the long letter. Thanks in advance for any info you folks can give me.
Stop in anytime with specifics.. you've reached a vast well of knowlege here!!!
