I got this beauty today from a friend who was going to junk it....
it runs great, but!
has 2 busted CV-Joints, the interior is f'ed up too
the outside need paint...but i believe that as long as the engine runs, everything is possible and worth it.

120k miles
v6(doh)
everything is stock
everything that is electrical works except the antenna.
radio works like charm...need speakers

Okay, my G1 is quite different inside, so I'm not familiar with the later models.

Can you tell me what that switch is to the right of the steering column?
Thanks.

Haha, sorry, wrong switch.

I have cruise control too.

I was referring to the switch on the dashboard, just to the right of the steering column, next to the ignition.

that is the power seat disabler or something. well all i know is that it has to do with the seat and its a master switch for it.

That is kinda cool, but at the same time kinda weird. It just doesn't seem all that necessary. Maybe if you have a power passenger seat and your kid keeps on playing with it, that would be nice.

well, quoted the seats today, 120 for the 2 front and the back....cloth ovbiously...
now, i have a question...being that the driver seat i'm getting is not electric...how hard is it to use my electric chair and out the new cloth seat in?

in other words...swapping the machanics of it only?

forget about the last message....no swap possible...you have to gut the seats in order to keep the mechanics since not everything is a bolt on...

dude! i put the seats on today, it looks so much better...
also, the guy who gave it to me told me that the a/c wasn't working....duh, all it needed was some ice

i hope is just that and i won't have to replace any o-rings coz that's one mayor pita!

anyways, is gonna be sad when i see it roll away! is gonna stay in the family tho.

also i got the cv-joints today, will be putting them in next weekend...
99 bucks each (59 after the core)
and that's the last thing i have to do!!! phew....

wish i could keep it, but i can't afford to
