      If you don't care about getting the ABS working and your brakes feel fine, Pull your instrument cluster and take the light bulb out of it for the ABS.

      The thread on my 91 LQ1/automatic Cutlass Supreme International Series coupe.  It might help with some of the LQ1 stuff.

      You have a wonderful and impressive collection and beautiful shop.  Very cool to see this. Yes, that STE is pretty special and so is Jeremiah.  I have bought a lot of NOS STE parts over the years, actually started a long time ago before I even found my STE.  Luckily, that has paid off.  There are a few things that pop up now and again but it's pretty slim now.  If I were you...and what I would have done if I decided to buy the car, find a Z34/5 speed parts car or something similar.  Having spare 284 parts and LQ1 stuff is always a good thing.  It also helps with keeping this correct, having the correct hardware, clips, and seeing how things are correctly put together on these cars.  I also thought about getting a good body shell sedan just in case I needed rust free panels for replacing anything that might be bad on the STE.  Any 90-96 rust free sedan will do.  The hardest part will be things that are unique of course to these STE's.  Those door speaker grills, seat material, some of the electronics, some LQ1 stuff such as the generator's cooling system, of course the 5 speed stuff...but again, a parts car will be your best friend here...some of the interior electronics, those sort of things will be a challenge.  By the looks of your shop and your story on the Milan, that might not be much of a challenge for you. Hopefully my thread and another members thread will help answer some questions and be helpful.

      I promise the only thing you will be hunting me down for on this is pictures.    im going to do a rwd conversion, automatic, ls swap, chrome wheels and a killer sound system on this thing!   kidding lol   I will as meticulously and rabidly restore and preserve to stock condition with utmost cleanliness. My ONLY concern, which Im working with jeremiah on, is insuring it isnt rusty.  Jeremiah seems like a fantastic guy.    i hate that car discussion is on facebook nowadays. Theres 47 w body groups and then other gm groups etc. I wish this place was what it used to be! Im deeply appreciative of your offer to help  I have a pretty open budget for this so am in the market for any/all nice/NOS parts.  Stock and perfect are the ultimate end goal.  My nerves are really centered around the powermaster 3 and rust.  Anything else I should be stewing about? adding a couple of pix of my old w-bodies, my garage now, and an article about a mercury milan i refurbished and sold.
