Hi guys, new member (sort of) I joined last year, but never got to introduce myself as my Typhoon dreams were shattered soon after. Last year I bought a 92 Ty. Fell in love with it at first sight, drove it for about a week or until the red light bully grin started to wear off.
It seemed like something was vibrating against the floor boards so I decided to put her on the lift and check it out. I almost cried when I realized the vibration was the tranny touching the body which had sank down. The body mount supports were completely rusted out, inner rocker panels were gone and the frame had rusted thru in various places. The previous owner had fixed it by placing two pieces of wood between frame and floor and spraying under coating on everything. The truck is now owned by a friend that plans on eventually switching everything over to an S10 Blazer...
Fast forward to about two weeks ago when my brother realized that he had too many toys and knowing my situation well, he decided to let me have his 92 Ty! It had been sitting in back of his house for about a year since he lost interest in it and moved on to other toys. It needs a little work but its pretty clean. Decent paint, no rust, good interior. Title says 56k and odometer says 58k.
So from now on I will appreciate your insight on various questions that I will have as I start working on her. I will post pics and # soon.
Thanks in advance, Eddie... New Typhoon owner in South Jersey
