Oh you bastard!

Man, what the heck is that round thing in the passenger's front corner of the engine bay?! It kinda looks like it might be some sort of water pump, but I'm really not sure. I know it's an A/C delete car from the factory. Could it be some sort of block heater thing that circulates the coolant when it's REALLY cold? I dunno...but it's strange looking!

I also noticed the random red wire wrapped around the coil wire going to some box on the passenger side behind the "round thing". What's that for?!

I also noticed the clear plastic fuel filter in the engine bay. It looks like it has the right clamps and hoses on it, but I'd still be careful with it like that! I don't remember off hand how much presure the TBI engines used, but I also think it's probably more than the 12psi that most of those filters are designed for!

That's the LPG pump.

I guess that's also for the LPG system. It's really built in a ed-up way. It was like that when I bought the car, I will try to clean it up as soon as the engine is fixed (oil leaks).

I thought that was an original part. But it isn't in use.

[turbokid]

So you gonna keep it N/A or are you going to put a turbo motor in it?

[Rubix]

A turbo would be very cool, but I have no idea how to build one in.

[itsbudda]

you could always find a stock turbo motor from a lebaron. Would be easier than turboing your N/A

That would be great, but how to ship it

I think it's better to find one here in the Netherlands, though I have no idea where Maybe I'll buy a coupe or so and sell the rest for parts.

umm i think ups would ship it but i dont know how much.. i'll look into it for you. i'm sure we can get it over there but it'll cost a bit....

[topdollar69]

A 4dr GTS harness will not work in a 2dr J body car anyways, it doesnt have any of the wiring for the hideaway headlights.

[turbokid]

So anyone else out there got some more baron pics?

There are a bunch of pictures of my GTC in the above link, along with some of my other cars.

[turbokid]

That GTC is AWESOME
I want one with a 2.2 5 speed... But I have a 2.5 auto for now...
Maybe someday

we are exactly within 100 posts of each other by the way...
Just thought that was kinda cool =-)

[Reaper1]

I had to do a double take on that Spirit in that gallery! I've got a friend who had one EXACTLY like that! Same color and all in pretty much mint condition(for its age the paint was *near* flawless!).

Nice 'Baron, I love the interior! My '88 'Tona has tan interior similar to that. If I'm not mistaken I was possibly the ONLY car at SDAC18 that had tan interior! there *might* have been one other, but I don't remember seeing it if there was.

Did you repaint the white GTC?

And in the first pic, I see a Ford Thunderbird in the background!
