2conquest Posted September 15, 2015 Report Share Posted September 15, 2015 Hello everyone! I am new to the fourm and new to the conquest/ starion family, I have a 1986 wide conquest (stick) and also a 1988 wide conquest (auto). I love the look but I have been running into a few problems (seems like fix 1 another problem starts) but I really want to keep them because I think they are one of the best cars to come out of the 80s. Trying to find info and parts have been another pretty big road block so I am really excited about being here and restoring these back to full health & then some. I will say I cant really complain I managed to trade a extra ps4 for both of them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2conquest Posted September 15, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 15, 2015 Thank you. Already I found that my '88 is a SHP (thought that was pretty cool) and instead of a crazy electrical problem the battery just happened to die after swapping my rear hatch out. Im originally from California and I go back pretty often, is there any chance there might be meets or anything like that going on the end of this year/begging of 2016?

2conquest Posted September 16, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 16, 2015 Thank you all for the warm welcome! Im not worried about going back to 100% OEM because one might be getting a ls swap. We have a full swap sitting in my friends yard (still in the truck) and hes willing to work a killer deal on it but for my '88 i kind of want the upgraded factory look and mid 3-400 rwhp. Im really looking forward to getting these done and in advance I want to say thank you for the help because without the knowledge here it would be a longer up hill battle. Ill post pics soon and its great hearing from someone out here in the middle of the desert! Thank baby jesus its getting a little cooler out so i can start these turbo upgrades hopefully Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pcristquester Posted September 20, 2015 Report Share Posted September 20, 2015 Where can I upload pics? I tried from my phone but file was to large.get a photobucket account (free), download to a computer from your phone, then upload to photobucket. There is a topic on this. Use the search bar within each section to find almost anything you have questions on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
