looks as though its in really good shape, and this is one of those cars i think looks really good in dark green. the interior might need a vacuum, but now im just being a perfectionist. lol looks good, do you know what an HDR picture is?

HDR? I'm not familiar with that term.
The funny thing is... I vacuumed it just an hour or two before I took the picture. The carpet has a few stains in it... haven't really taken the time to scrub my ass off to get them up yet.
Hmm, and I'm sitting at work right now. I just ordered new wiper blades for my car... Anco Contour wiper blades... 20 inch. The original blades are still on it... apparently all anyone has ever done to them is put in refills. I don't really see a point in refills personally. But any who, now I need to figure out how to take them off without damaging the arm/clip and put the new ones on.

Well if its the pin style, just use a screwdriver and pry em off the arm. if its the Hook style, there should just be a button you push and it slides off the arm.

Mine is the pin style... it must have been one of the last years for that style. The 94 LeSabre at work has the pin too, but the 98 S10 has the hook, as well as the 95 Grand Voyager has the hook too. Anyway, part of my point is that since these blades have been on the arms for 14 years... they have 14 years of rust on them. I need to devise the best way to get them off without breaking them. One other question... is my car supposed to have green or orange antifreeze? Mine is green, but at some point in the car's life, someone hand wrote "Dex-Cool" on the overflow bottle, which would refer to the orange. It's the 3100 SFI engine. |

ohhh youll be fine. just stick a flat blade between em, and turn the driver and it pops right off, iv been doing them multipul times a day for well over a year. I havent broken an arm yet, the blade breaks LONG before the arm, i mean the arms steel, the blades cheap thin pot metal. Your over complicating the situation, there wiper blades

Yeah, I just basically did what you said and shoved a flat head screw driver in and twisted it until it popped. I love my new wiper blades. But then again I get excited over small things. Next project for my car... replacing the turn signal switch. Already bought the switch, now it just needs put on. I looked up instructions on it, and while they were very easy to follow and concise... it still made my brain hurt, however my father said its extremely easy to do (I guess cuz he's done it a few dozen times in his life) and he'll do it. So now it's just a waiting game.

i hate the two wires that go to the key cylender or whatever... i always just take the plug apart and pull those two pins out of the old and new one, and put the old pins in the new plug. makes it was easier than finding the end of those damn wires.

It seems as though you just disconnect the airbag and take out the two screws holding it in behind the wheel and pop it out. Then its just like working on a steering wheel without an airbag.

Yeah, I saw that before, but it still made my brain hurt haha. I'll just let my dad do it, he's done it before, the only difference is he's never done one with an airbag.
