Parts for 90 20v

[J Mawhinney]

His main problems have been in the engine compartment.  He says that he is
going to have to do a little modifying to the drivers inner fender wall
(bang it out a little) to fit a few odds and ends in.  I can't, off the top
of my head, remember what the parts were but I will find out and get back to
you on that one.  As far as the suspension goes, he found a wrecked 90 20v
at a good price.  The suspension is intact so we're using it (cast instead
of stamped steel and rear sway).  He said it took him all of about 4.5 hours
to swap the entire set up.
As for the cooling system, we both thought it wise to install a 90 (20v or
not) radiator and aux radiator for the extra heat that big head retains.
Other than that, there will be many retrofitted parts including the A/C
compressor and condenser from the 90.  Since the donor car was wrecked
drivers front, most of the parts in that area were damaged and unusable.
Thus the need for the few odds and ends.
She's going to be a lot of work, but going to be a lot of fun.  We're
looking forward to hearing her scream and will keep you posted.
