MainstreaM Posted June 7, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 7, 2013 Car has an appointment at the body shop Wednesday, will take a couple of months to finish, no tape and spray, full pull apart and paint each panel individually.

MainstreaM Posted July 21, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 21, 2013 (edited) Still not painted yet so it could still be sold. He got 48 and 52 Ford pickups in for a full respray. My car was put on the back burner since those are big money jobs and mine is at the family discount.

marso Posted July 25, 2013 Report Share Posted July 25, 2013 (edited) That was my car and I can vouch for everything he is saying. Don't let the R title scare you there is nothing wrong with this car. The owner before me had an aftermarket radio and he is the one who cut the wiring then reinstalled the stock before selling it to me. The radio worked but did not keep stations and the wheel controls did not work. The harness side wires are all there. I wouldn't mind having it back but no room for a toy. That's why it was sold.

89Steve Posted August 8, 2013 Report Share Posted August 8, 2013 Has this been sprayed yet? I'm toying around with the idea of getting another SQ if its clean and at the right price. Also is there any rust on frame rails or quarter panels? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MainstreaM Posted August 8, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 8, 2013 Not sprayed yet, it's on the family discount plan which puts it in the corner to be worked on when regular work is slow. No rust on this car that I can find. I'll probably regret selling it. Kane Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MainstreaM Posted August 9, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 9, 2013 Coming back to FL anytime soon? lol Next planned trip is after Christmas. If asking price is met and paid in full, I'd seriously consider making a special trip sooner. Just made an offer on a house and 47 acres. Selling this could really help with that.

marso Posted August 18, 2013 Report Share Posted August 18, 2013 It looks like I accidently left the white shifter ball in the car. I thought I took it out. I had it specially made for me. Any chance I could get it back? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MainstreaM Posted June 24, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 24, 2014 After some drama with my little bro, i've got this car back in TN. Still kicking around the idea of selling. Has 70k on it now. Kane Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
helrazr70 Posted June 27, 2014 Report Share Posted June 27, 2014 As you have always known, I am partial to clean, low mileage, and black SQs... This one definitely deserves consideration though. It's just a hair outside my current price range though. I have been toying with the idea of picking up another SQ for a little while now and with PF coming up next week I decided to see what's out there. I figured I would poke around and see what is between here and there prior to the drive down there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeamoss Posted July 4, 2014 Report Share Posted July 4, 2014 What's up with your '89?Painted yet?Any of issues addressed.... Wheel bearings, leaky injectors, bent wheel?

joshquest88 Posted July 19, 2014 Report Share Posted July 19, 2014 Is car still available? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MainstreaM Posted July 21, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 21, 2014 Car is still somewhat available, although, here's the latest. After going over it with a fine tooth comb, thanks to helrazr70's attention to detail or OCD (which ever you want to call it) some more things have been noticed. The story of this car is questionable. The VIN stamped into the firewall, (not the firewall build plate) has been ground off. The other VIN tags seem to have been replaced at some time but I can not support nor deny this until I can tear the car down and match all the hidden VIN numbers in various body panels. Drivers door doesn't quite line up with the roof of the car indicating a possible bow in the body or could be a door that shouldn't have made it past quality control. A trip to the local frame machine is the only way to know for sure. Downpipe gasket is leaking, my fault, used a copper gasket in a pinch last time it went out. The vibration at 65mph seems to be torque tube related or could be the bow in the body. It's starting to get the rear end clunk of a failed diff mount as well. I probably won't sell it as is cause I know how cheap starquesters are and will end up getting lowballed to the point of pissing me off. Not being a d*ck, just been in the game long enough to know. What's up with your '89?Painted yet?Any of issues addressed.... Wheel bearings, leaky injectors, bent wheel?Could I get some better pictures? See aboveNopeNope, injectors are fine, curbed not bentI'm a very busy person, if you are serious about buying I can. Is car still available? Somewhat, see above.
