Title: any interest in 88 cradle or front end? Post by: fiero308 on June 11, 2004, 10:43:40 am I MIGHT have access to an 88 cradle and/or front end assy's. I am not sure if I want to get into swapping them into my 85 or not simply because of the amount of work I have put into my car so far altho I might go with the cradle. The front end would be the cross member, the hub ass'ys, the rack (if necessary but prob a good idea to match the rest) and the upper and lower control arms.
Any interest? The stuff isn't dirt cheap to me but I would just pass it along to someone who would use it. I am 'guessing' the cradle will be in the $350 range with all that stuff on it, but the 'owner' is being tight lipped about price so usually that isn't a good sign. I have no idea what they might ask for the front assy but they said they would look at it and get back to me. I have to decide what I am going to do too, here. To help me with my decision, can anyone post a pic or pix of the 88 spindle assy hopefully showing a bare spindle and the bearing separately? TIA!!! Title: Re: any interest in 88 cradle or front end?

Title: Re: any interest in 88 cradle or front end? Post by: fiero308 on June 11, 2004, 01:34:41 pm well, there may be a very short line-up already. I have almost had the rear cradle 'forced' on me and I am pretty sure I am NOT going to use it now.
The front assy is up in the air but I will see what he wants for it and go from there. So NICK, if you are reading this let me know. thx gp Title: Re: any interest in 88 cradle or front end? Post by: Gizmo on June 11, 2004, 01:40:20 pm If I'd have an 88 I would probably scoop that stuff up, as backup parts. But right now I'm more after a clean rolling chassis. Can't see myself swapping the 88 "stuff" to an earlier frame....but thats a fun project!

I think these things are available to the first person who wants them. LMK and I can put you in touch with the guy. The ONLY thing I know about price is that he told me he wanted $200 for the cradle, and his idea of cradle was a bit more 'bare' than mine........ ::) So I am guessing $300? maybe a bit more with the hub ass'ys and the trailing arms (for lack of a better term). gp Title: Re: any interest in 88 cradle or front end?

I don't have it and don't expect I will get it but if you are interested I can point you in the right direction. I have no idea what shape it is in except they said it looked 'fine'. ??? Title: Re: any interest in 88 cradle or front end? Post by: fiero308 on June 17, 2004, 08:24:00 am the front end of this car is probably still avail (AFAIK) and since they report it was hit in the back end hopefully it is in decent shape?
