Stover

I'm interested in the seats. Can you tell me what color and maybe send a few pics? I'm willing to ship.

I just picked up a 92 SVX to replace my XT-6. They are very unique in many ways, which kinda requires that you become a SVX enthusiast or you will become frustrated trying to find parts. The biggest issue these cars have is the rear wheel bearings have a short <50K mile lifespan. The brakes are undersized for a car that weighs 3,580-lbs and wear out quickly when driven aggressively. The spark plugs are difficult to change due to proximity to unibody. The OEM struts tend to fail before expected. I've read that the catalytic converters are hard to find and cost a lot. But, all of the above make them an epic poor mechanic's exotic dream car...and you can pick them up for under $1,000.

I ran two wires from the fuse box up to the back side of the center stack of the dash, and installed a inline fuse and a simple two position toggle switch to turn the ABS off or on when desired. This is very handy in muddy terrain.

I thought that all teenage boys were supposed to own a beater like this... I had three of them before I learned that the car I drive is much more than an extension of my personality, but a necessary component to life in modern civilization. If it were my son, I'd park the Brat in the garage and have him study the factory service manual for two weeks. Then, I'd have him work out a restoration plan to make the vehicle exactly what he really wants it to be. Then I'd pay him to rebuild each and every part of the car by hand. This way he learns about vehicles and how they go together. This also keeps him at home where you can keep tabs on him. Resolving problems on a beater car is like a rite of passage in teenage American muscle car culture. Let him learn.
