that is so cute, i just purchased a white 91, it needs some front end work. the only thing we can't find is the front bumper assembly, it's like they don't exist.... anywhere!

A little pressure wash, wax, vacuuming and that car will be ready for fun in the sun! Very nice

That car has a few differences I haven't seen before.
For one, it has manual windows.
Secondly it doesn't have an air bag...
Thirdly, the knee bar isn't the usual one for 90's cabby.
This is the first 90's(digifant) cabby I've seen in the forum with manual windows and no airbag....
Other than that, it looks cool.
You're doing right to do all the catch up maintenance first!

Eh, It's Canadian, why do they need Air, and an Airbag?

Wellll...I'm No expert...But...I thought that the airbag (driver only) began in 1991?
And... wasn't the power windows only on the 'Carat' ? No?

Sorry for the confusion guys, the previous owner told me it was a 1990, actually a 91. I don't know if that clears some things up.
