That '89 cavalier sedan (chain timing 2.0L engine type) needs number of parts to pass safety (Ontario, canada) & functional stuff. Trying not to spend too much money on it by junkyard & new parts route, I only plan to keep it for couple to three years.
I think junkyard is good idea to get these parts, point is I wanted to know what years and models they're compatiable with this cavalier '89.
Items:
4 doors & trunk (rust what else?) done by either body shop or same garage where is car at. Shocks (all around, rear shocks and struts w/ top plates. Exhaust system: cat. converter, muffler extension pipe & tailpipe. Right front link kit. Replace CV outer boots (use new boots).I will hire off to shop to do these items including fuel & brake lines.
I'll can do these following otherwise tell me if one of them is hard or need special tools: Front brakes (hoses, slider kit, rotor & pads), various lights. Key cylinder ingition (it's jamming bec of physical damage & hard to turn when starting). Steering power high press hose. Lights. Mix new and used parts.
I already have body shop estimate on that car, 1,000 to do rocker panels, repair rust (mostly bottom) but rest of car is good.
Oh, I have other car Sunbird 91 sedan for parts. If not tell me to sell it for parts and raid junkyard off correct cars.
Cheers & thanks.
