93 Black On Black Wrecked

[NoLimit95]

List what you might need and I can let you know if we have it or not. I have already took some of the things I needed like AC vents, window motor from drivers side, drivers side parking light and I'm also taking the front and rear bumper covers and he's removing the engine and trans to put up for sale. Has around 115,000 on it. The front seats have already been removed and sold. All windows are in tact, none broken. Pics of the car are below and if you're wondering what hit the drivers side door, it was pushed into a stop sign. This damage was all done by a new Nissan Altima and not one of her air bags came out during impact. Either they never put them in from the factory or the Mark is extremely weak on the side. She drove away from the wreck but his car had to be towed home. One of the fuel lines was damaged. It's a possibility I will take his engine and put the 98 Mark trans on it that I never installed yet.

Just list what you need and all I can do is check to see if it's worth it and if so, I'll show a pic of it and list his price. Zip code here is 35758 and the shipping will be on you.

PM sent and PM's fixed or should be anyway. I Will be sending PM's to each of you as I get pics of the things you want. I don't want anyone buying something that they haven't seen.

The EATC unit is the upgraded 96 model with the hard buttons, not the original 93 thin broken button style. Pics below to show it's condition and sticker # and he wants $90.00 even for it with free shipping. This is not my pricing so don't pound me down about what he wants for this stuff. It does work. The sticker # that you see and year of the car you buy it for are your responsibility. Will be sold as is to you. Date is 09/06/96 and was installed in the 93 as the updated version.

thats a hard buttom 95 style, the 96 units have the same face as the 97-98's

That's what I thought but you see the date on it and it says 96 but I guess it was meant for the 95 and earlier. The one I have in my car is the big button style from 96 and I still have to get someone a pic of that. Haven't had time to pull it yet and get a pic.

Anyway, here is a pic of how I got the door open or what it looked like after cutting it open.

That's the bad part. The wreck was his fault. No money except him paying $75 to have it towed home on a flatbed.

He done so much work to the front end and just got done with it and within 2 weeks, it was in a wreck.
He bought a rebuilt compressor from American Air Suspension and new air struts, upper and lower control arms and bushings, new O-rings for the solenoids on the height sensors. Seems like it was right at $550 or so for everything he bought and done the work himself. Had a new TPS and IAC, new plugs, fresh oil, new tires. Now it's history and he says he does not want another one after seeing the damage a Nissan Altima could do.

He just wants to pull the engine and trans out and part the rest before the guy that sold me the 98 trans comes to get the rest of the car. He wants the rear suspension. He's building some 56 Ford truck and putting all types of various parts from different cars into it. He was the one that bought the seats out of it. He sold both of those with the tracks and motors for $200 and they were in excellent condition. Anyway, it was a one owner and the 2nd owner totaled it. Hurt me when I saw it. It didn't even have a ding in the body anywhere. She hit it so hard that it buckled both quarters on each side and the top.

Fords, although safe, do seem to be really 'flimsy' when it comes to impacts. I 'T-boned' a Ford Escort in a small Nissan, at 60 MPH, back in 2001 - Escort was totaled and the occupants had to go to hospital. I drove home... Mind, I don't think any normal car will take a side impact too well. I'd imagine if he'd hit the Altima in the side, her car would have suffered a lot worse.

Glad that didn't happen because my 7 year old son was in the car with him when it was hit and he was ok and on top of that, my dad would have been stealing front end parts off of my car lol.

Car now is in the driveway. It has no front seats anymore. They were sold weeks ago and the rear seat, especially the lower seat is no good. The upper rear I think is fine but just in a bind. I took some all around pics today.

Things for sale now are the following from (35758)

Trunk lid light bar - $25.00

2 Sun visors (black) - $30.00

Electric antenna, needs mast - $25.00 but I'm telling him $20.00

Grille with support rails if needed - $80.00

Headlights mostly clear - $75.00 each

Tail lights - $25.00 each

Ashtray & Cup holder - unsure, highest offer might get it. The cup holder lid needs work. Coating still in good condition.

Floor mats - In my car now.

Center console lid - unsure because the release button doesn't work but the lid itself is in pretty good condition. I thought it was gone. Make offer!

Stereo - Works good, has cassette - Make Offer

Factory amp - Works good - $60.00

EATC updated hard button style - I talked him down to $85.00

Anything doing with suspension right now is on hold. We have to get the car out of the driveway and hide it behind the house. Our city is strict and they have already been bitchin about how it looks and asking how long it's going to be setting there. I told them maybe 10 more days but I never said I was moving it out back and they never said not to. I have some pics below and maybe you will spot something you need. If I haven't already claimed it, it will be for sale. Just shoot me a PM! The rear suspension is sold already to someone local. He already bought and took the front seats.

I will trade you a set of headlights for the black door seals

 

[BAD97LSC]

i'll do it if they arent broken in any way. crappy is fine, broken no fine!!

 

[NoLimit95]

I would hook you up with a good price but you have to remember, this ain't my car. I'll PM you his number and you can call him and ask since you did meet him when he came to FL.

When you and Omen get through making your deal with seals and lights, let me know the outcome. I know these lights are good with very very little fading but they aren't crystal clear like mine are. He hates the Octastars but I hate his passenger side door too lol.

Any idea what needs to be done to the cupholder lid?

 

[NoLimit95]

Any idea what needs to be done to the cupholder lid?

I have no clue. Jamie might know just by looking at it. I can see a spring down in there but whatever holds the left side in place seems to be gone or I just haven't looked off in the hole good enough. I would love to have them both in mine because his look new compared to what I have. I was just going to do the wet sanding on mine since both doors work good.

I doubt anything is broke in there because the man that owned the car took really good care of it and it was like that when my dad bought it. Something could be broke that holds it, I'm just not sure. I might pull the whole console tomorrow and see whats going on with it and then I can let you know. I don't wanna be selling something to someone that's broke.

 

[BAD97LSC]

those lids have a boss on each side of them molded into the lid and the biggest thing that happens to them is the boss snaps off the side of the lid causing the lid to get cockeyed. super glue will sometimes work, but its just a bandaid, it wont hold forever, thats about the only thing you can do once they break. or try putting a longer screw through the lid and boss but that usually makes the lid open and close real hard.

 

[Reaper]

is it possible to remove the trunk lock cover and replace it on another mark... cause i need one... the plastic insert fell out of my and it all corroded away.... and i have a cobrastar decal to put on it, but no good trunk lock cover to put it on...

 

[BAD97LSC]

yes they are quite easy to change, remove the center tail light and they are held to that with two 7 mm screws.

Can I get a price on the rear diff housing. Thanks

 

[NoLimit95]

Can I get a price on the rear diff housing. Thanks

Sorry about missing this. I'll have to make sure the guy buying the rear suspension doesn't want it. Right now the car is in the garage pretty much demolished. I'll get a few pics up of what it looks like now. I took off the front and rear bumper covers, both fenders, hood and that's it. If anyone wants a free one piece 93 drive shaft, you can come get it but you'll have to pull it.

I'm not sure what the problem is for him getting it out but if I were to show you what he's about to do, I think everyone would laugh. I have already tried to explain to him how to get it out or how people on here are saying to get it out but he has cut through the inside center hump and plans on cutting the drive shaft in half. I just want him to hurry up and get the piece of :q:q:q:q out of the garage because he's taking up both spaces. All he wants to do is pull the engine and trans. We were going to hide the car out back but I voted to park outside until he gets it done.

Can he even pull the engine and trans all together? Looks like it's a tight fit but he says he can do it. He said he would sell me his motor for $500 with 112K but after seeing what he's doing to get this one out, I don't want him around my car. I'll stick with the 181K I have and just put the 98 trans I have in and be done with it. When I show what this car looks like now, you'll understand why I don't want him messing with mine. Jamie met him once, he can explain to you how backwards he can be. If I had the money, I would pay someone to come here and pull the engine and trans out, put his engine in mine along with the 98 trans that I have with his one piece drive shaft. That would make me happy but I don't have enough cash to pay someone to come and do all that and I'm not one to get under cars the way he has them up in the air.
