    It looks like a Laser XE to me. The seats also look like they came from a Lancer or GTS instead of a Laser. You can run the 86 computer, but you would need to change the distributer to the short fat style. I'm not sure how well it would perform though since this car should have a G head and the 86 mopar cal might not have enough timing to really make a big difference. It's funny to see manual windows in what looks to be a pretty well loaded Laser.

    I think I have a set of rear window louvers for you. I think they came off of a Plymouth Turismo but I would need some measurements off your window to make sure whether it would or would not fit.

    +1, it's a Laser XE. The 4 ribbed molding is the giveaway, as is the 2 piece front fascia without wraparound (the lower half of the XT fascia wraps around the front fenders).

    The seats, agreed, H body.

    Switching from 85 electronics to 86, while still trying to keep the EVA, is a HUGE HUGE HUGE PITA. If you scan the archives, I tried it years ago (and had all the wiring components).....I ended up just buying an 86 in the end. Between the bulkhead connector not being the same, the pinouts on the different modules having difference (i.e., cruise functions), and plugs not matching up unless EVERY harness is switched to 86....trust me, its a pain in the a$$.

    I have a set of louvres off of mine, a 7 out of 10 (could use paint but no mandatory). Problem would be the shipping (I am outside of Phila). If interested, drop me a pm.

    All that said, good luck with the car, it's a nice find!! Let me know if you need any parts, I have a TON
