I think he meant take out the spare tire, and put the extra tank there, for a "two-tank" SVO system.

I love mine already. I just think, from a chassis dynamics standpoint, it doesn't stack up to modern cars. There's quite a bit of cowl shake, for example. That doesn't matter that much to me, but it's the sort of thing I'd expect to see pointed out in a review.

I gotta say I love that blue metallic color. Every other Cabriolet I looked at was red, white, or black.

My headliner is unfortunately shot, too. Slashed to ribbons by the person who broke into the car.

http://www.gull.us/misc/cabriolet-small.jpg That picture was taken right after I bought it. Since then, I've had new engine mounts, front seals, and a timing belt installed, put in a new antenna, had new tires put on, and fixed the HVAC controls. I also bought a boot for it on eBay.

6. Could buy just about any time, would like to have it by June-ish, when I can take a weekend to do the job and be reasonably sure it won't rain.

...you'll want to reuse the rear cable if you can, since it's like $100 (or $5 if you make your own at a hardware store like i did since mine was rusted through =] ) I keep hearing references to the rear cable being $100, but CabrioWorld lists them at $38 . Am I missing something here? For $38 it s...

Ah, no wonder I couldn't find it. It's presumably now located wherever that cardboard piece has disappeared to.

Forgive me for posting an RTFM sort of question, but I don't have an owner's manual for this car yet.

'89 Cabriolet...I notice there's a pin switch on the trunk lid. Is there supposed to be a light in there? If so, where is it? I tried to trace out the wiring but it disappears into a loom.
