UFOs were no longer equipped here after 91.
I've just had the p/s pump out of my 90 and it's not too bad a job. You
should be able to find a used replacement fairly easily. Ron?
It may then be necessary to fix some leaks as the pump may have busted due
to no lubrication. If it broke due to age, then you might be good to go.
Coolant leaks aren't really that bad a job on these, though I've never had
to really chase any tough ones so take that into consideration.
I have to agree with you about the DOTC status. I bought a 92 last fall for
1k that runs and drives, is by far not without issues, but is wreched in the
rear. Once I get the engine swap to my spd done, I'll have many spares, but
I want to keep it intact and moveable until then.
Looks nice, congrats!
