Hello TM community, I purchased a 1987 LeBaron last year out of necessity... at that point I was driving a 92 Camry that was on its last legs. The LeBaron is a 2.2L TI (I believe) with an original Garrett turbo and a 5 speed manual trans. I think the car spent its entire life in the rust belt as it suffers from plenty (though) not severe rust. The top end of the motor has been completely rebuilt, the turbo was rebuilt with the Mom'n'Pop 360 kit. Recently the self-adjusting screw in the rear drum broke and all the hardware was bent by the wheel... both drums and hardware AND rear cylinders were replaced and the car is back on the road. I had a cosmetic-only accident (curse that black Chicago ice!!), so the car needs a new front end (see Parts Wanted section...). I've heard great things about the TM community and I am looking forward for the expert advice I see from these forums.
My first question that I'm hoping someone can answer for me: Does a 88 Dodge Daytona front end (including fenders) swap directly to a LeBaron, or do modifications need to be made for that swap?
Second, my digital dash tends to fade as I'm driving. At start up it is always on, but progressively and intermittently while driving it will fade and come back, has anybody experienced this before? Any troubleshooting suggestions?
Third, I need a new windshield due to a small crack from a vicegrip incident (that I'd much rather not talk about). Can a convertible windshield be used for a coupe? Or are the sizes/shapes different from one another?
Thank you all very much for your time and responses!
