Re: Dumb accident with '86 TQ, question about bent frame
cp,
Sure, if it's not really busted up, fix it!
Heck, I'm contemplating making a "faux-v8" out of my 5ktq - if I do I'd have
the body parts (bumper/hood/grille) for cheap - provided you're in the
Hamilton, Ontario, Canada area.
It was pretty advanced for its day - people are suprised when I tell them my
car is an '87 - it looks fairly current even with the cars of today. The
galvanizing of the body was definitely advanced for it's day. The hydraulic
pressure accumulator....well.....sometimes the "road less traveled" is that
way for a reason.
Cheers!

Yeh, people are surprised that this one is a '86, there's no comparison
to North American cars of those years. I've got a UK review of this car
against others of it's class, this one came out on top, no wonder.
