It took 6 months of searching, but I finally found another 6g to replace my Abby....
She's a 96 GT 25th anniversary No. 0455. 128,xxx miles, Autofail, tan top. There are a host of issues that need to be fixed, as with any new used car, but this is what I found so far: Needs: Driver's side axle Driver's side wheel bearing Poly bushings all around Struts and springs Fuel filler neck and gaskets Wheels and Tires Quarter Windows need adjusted Door Cards Deck lid leaks on the driver's side There is some rust that needs to be addressed, but luckily it is still at the point where it can be fixed without too much trouble. Once I get the steering/suspension fixed, I'll drive her like that for a bit to confirm that we're ok for daily duty, then we'll begin planning modifications. I'll try and take more pictures as I get the opportunity. I'm just happy to be back in one. This post has been edited by bloodMoney: May 19, 2014 - 9:46 AM -------------------- ~bloodMoney

So, I should've just done the 5x114 conversion when I did the rear wheel bearings.... My driver's front wheel bearing gave up the ghost and toasted my front tire in the process. Now I'm waiting on new bearings for the front to get her back on the road.
I also ordered replacement brakes all the way around. The bearings, coupled with the brakes, new struts/springs, and lower control arms; maybe I'll start enjoying driving this thing again. I've also decided that I need a manual swap bad. I don't know how you guys with autos deal with it. I'm sooooo booooooored. EDIT: HAVE SOME OTHER PICTURES.
