Finally getting the car I have wanted since high school. Friend of the family has one that has been sitting in a field for several years. She is letting me rescue it after 2 years of hounding. I do not have all the details on it yet, but I am pretty sure it is as follows:
1988 Chrysler Conquest TSi, Silver, 5 speed, has the factory wheels. I have yet to see inside the car, or under the hood. I have been told it has had the motor replaced, but never ran after, due to not having a diagram for the vacuum hoses. I do not think it has a moon roof, but I do not remember as I have only seen the car a few times, and it is literally buried in some trees in a field.
I have already downloaded the FSM from here, and ordered a large spool of vacuum lines, a battery, and am looking for a set of used whatever wheels, so I can hopefully, make it roll enough to pull out of the field onto a trailer.
I am unsure at this point, how bad the floor is going to be from years of being parked in a field. But, I will bring her back. Zero clue on what the interior condition is at this point either. None of that matters to me, as I will not be doing a full restoration, but rather, making it into a fun car with some modern touches. There are no immediate plans to do a motor swap, but that is not off the table for later on. I might do some research on mating an Evo 8+ motor to a CD009 or something similar, once the car is solid and drives.
I will be sure to take a lot of pictures when I go to pull it from its current resting place so I can document the journey. I know I will be asking many questions here and doing a lot of reading up on the funky TBI style injection and all the mods to make it somewhat reliable on such an odd motor. I was always under the impression that it had a 4g63 motor from the factory, and was kinda bummed to find it did not. But, I am also not looking to make it a huge HP monster, but a fun weekend toy.
Thanks for the add,
Tim!
