Never saw that one, Saw the '88 where its tearing around corners.

Good news:

Fixed my bumper creatively.

And bought another Dynasty. REAL nice. The body isnt, thats for sure. New headlights, Struts, Brakes, Shocks etc. Etc.
I do not like the steering wheel, much better than what I had, but it is not wrapped leather Like i wished.

Drill a small hole at the end of that crack or it will continue to grow.

Kind of worried at the fact they needed 4 Air Freshners to smellify the car nicely. Nice mix of coconut and vanilla

I salute the K-Cars and their relative's for saving Chrysler in the 80s and I continue to see more of them than any other car of this era. I see Shadows, Le Barons, Sundances, Reliants, Dynastys, Aires, and more every day. At least the ones that ahven't been hit by Ohio's salty winter roads.

Holy twins Batman! :shock: I've been looking for a parts twin to my 95 Aerostar, mainly for interior stuff. But they all seem to break and wear in the same places. -Adam

Those are all such awesome wheels. None look similar to the original. They dont have anything boxy enough. :lol:

Anywho....Heres some pictures of where progress is going:
Basically just ripping apart the parts car. Really was getting grossed out by the nastiness. Its not like...Dirty trash, its mainly dog hair.

Tore out the front seat, Greeted by a pile of gum wrappers, and some french fries.

Found an un-holy amount of pens, some CDs a ton of tickets for parking, wrappers, cigarette boxes and a UofM sticker.
Oh, And 5 Dogs worth of hair.

Its caked on.

This doesnt work

Also found $15 worth of change under the 2 seats. Still need to get the drivers seat out, or loose. Sold the CD player from it for $15. Not bad considering its not much newer than the car was. Next step is to get the last seat out, rip out the carpet. I'm going to save most of the rubber and insulation, to deaden more noise in the final product. the carpet is dead. So is the battery, so that is extremely annoying.
 
Re: "Fixing" Up the dynasty-Parts car is a winner

5 dogs worth of hair :mrgreen: , you crack me up dingo! i've used grant steering wheels before, i recomend them too. does that thing have an airbag? that can mess you up there. they used to make a cover for ford truck wheels with cruise built in, i was thinking they were square but maybe im wrong. again.

K-Cars don't die easily..but do have a couple of these at the yard I go to. Need me keep an eye out for anything? (you may not want to request sheet metal, but you might get lucky).
 
Re: "Fixing" Up the dynasty-Parts car is a winner

A Dodge Dynasty is not a K-car.^

A K-car was a Dodge Aries and a Plymouth Reliant back in the '80's.

The one thing that we need that this car apparently doesnt have, is a core support. Yeah, it has one, but the one in mine is warped, and the one in the parts car is apparently hard to get out straight. Theres some options that were on these cars, That will be pretty hard for me to get. Not that I would put one in, but a sunroof.

They were named "C Platform" but were based off of the K-Car.
 
Re: "Fixing" Up the dynasty-Parts car is a winner

Was'nt the PT Cruiser based off a K-car too?
