Long-time list member giving up his '91 SE-R--need garage space

[D. F. Haley]

Hi, I've rarely posted on this list, but it has been a great help for me 
all the years that I've owned my '91 SE-R (bought it new).  Nice to see 
long-time listers like George R. still posting!

I'd like to sell/give my car to a lister, as payback for all the good 
advice I've had over the years.

Currently my car has 170,000 miles on it, and it has been a great car.  
Last year, I had a big scare when coming down a hill and I lost all 
braking.  One of my brake lines had burst, so all the brake fluid was 
shortly pumped out onto the pavement.  Fortunately, I and the car 
survived, but I parked the car in my garage.  I decided to re-do the 
brakes.  I found one of the two rear brake lines from a dealer, but the 
other is NLA.  In my younger days, I'd think nothing of building one 
from scratch, but now I'm too busy to do it.  So the car has been 
sitting for nearly a year, and I have decided to give it up to a 
deserving list member, if anyone wants it.

The car spent three winters in New Hampshire, where my daughter went to 
college, which is when the brake lines got all rusted.  The body is 
still sound, however, and is undented, and clean.  Before my daughter 
had it, I always waxed it at least 4 times/year.  It's a good runner, 
and has never been tracked.  I've used Mobil 1 in it at every oil 
change, every 5,000 miles for its entire life.  At about 90,000 miles, I 
re-did the whole suspension with Tokico shocks, new tie rods, and all 
new suspension rubber bushings.  I've done the engine mounts a couple of 
times as well, plus it's had brakes a couple of times.  Let's see, other 
stuff...  Oh yeah, I did a new timing chain tensioner.  It has 
brand-new, never-used rear calipers.  The brake master cylinder is newly 
rebuilt.  The only performance mods are hot-shot headers and a Wolfe 
CPU.  It has a full set of snow tires on the OEM rims, and summer tires 
on aftermarket rims.  It has an aftermarket radio, that was badly 
installed by Tweeters.  There is a small crack in the windshield.

This is all available nearly free.  I'll take the best offer.  In fact, 
for someone who's a lister, I'll GIVE it away FREE, as long as he/she 
takes ALL the spares: three sets of wheels/tires, assorted spare parts, 
extra hotshot header that needs small weld, the new brake lines, and 
stuff like that.  It's going to have to go on a trailer, or someone 
local here in Connecticut is welcome to work on it in my garage.  It's 
currently up on jack stands, ready-to-be-finished, where it has been 
sitting since December last year. 

Send me an email and I'll give you my phone contact, etc.  If I don't 
hear anything for a while, I'll sell it locally.
