Today, Brown left for me a set of UMI subframe connectors and a wonderbar (for the 89) that I ordered from a group purchase on TGO. They were packed so well that it took me about 1/2 hr to unwrap them. Still there are places where the powder coating has been rubbed off in shipping, but a good coat of paint over those areas and we should be golden. Now I need to find a good shop to put them up for me, if not this weekend, then the weekend prior to Labor Day.

We could. I was planning to drive the purple one though, it has better tunes and it's more comfy on the long trips.  I may have to take the 89, the purple one is starting to shudder a bit with heavy braking, time to look at the front brakes and alignment.

I've got the wonderbar on now. A little more difficult than the stock one was to do on the purple 92. Hardest thing to do was to support the sway bar ( a monster compared to the 30mm on the 92) while securing the bushing mounts.
