Not to step on anyone's toes but I've helped a couple of people look into this potential upgrade and there is a 'gotcha' that you need to be aware of. First -...
Would an early 80Q (1988) have swappable parts for the syncro? I figure the engine (NG) would bolt right in (along w/ tranny) but what about the rear diff,...
The NG may bolt right in but it will not fire right up. Engine management is different. Drive shaft is the same but the center dif is not the same. The front...
... Crap! Crap! Crap! "The offered OPEL pump is mounted near the fuel tank, not in it, so it doesn't fit." I've sent him the correct part #'s but I dont have...

Relax -- I sank about $4k into mine in the first six months I had it too, and it only had 50k on it then. I've put very little into it in the four years...

just wondering, I remember seeing that there is an aftermarket front spoiler for the older bumper styled quantums, those won't be able to fill in the gaps? ......
I checked into this once when I had 3 of the 4 flares that I needed. I thought maybe buying only one would be tollerable. I can't remember the price but it...
I doubt it. But, while we're on the topic, John may want to dress up his old trim style Q by adding a factory chin spoiler. Again this was on the 85 QSW but...
