very nice!
a few thoughts...
- keep the sunroof drains cleared out. I didn't do this soon enough and I am finding it almost impossible to clear them now. gunk has completely solidified in there! Nothing will poke through it.
- moisture in floors comes from various sources, but the main problem is that the design does not allow them to dry out... it is a sponge sandwiched in vapour barrier (rubber on top, metal floor on bottom). I had the 1989 off the road, garaged all last summer and when it came time to remove the carpets to install an exhaust, the sponges were completely soaking wet... after 4+ months in a dry warm garage!!! I think the only solution is to remove the underlay (which I did, followed by extensive fibreglass work!) but there is much more road noise as a result. I will need to address this for the 1993, but might source some appropriate underlay this time
- other sources of moisture... rotting brake lines (really really bad news!! let me tell you about that!)... power steering fluid in passenger front... but mainly keep an eye on the status of your brake lines!!!
- car seats. You will need those. I had really good luck with Sunshine Kids Radian in terms of fit in the c900. I had 2 of them back there at one point and a passenger could even fit between them. They are narrow, but strong, and the bottom contour fits the scoop of the back seat perfectly. They are big for rear facing, so get a bucket first - we did peg perego (which fit well), but probably others also will work. I think Sunshine Kids is now some other name, but you will find it if you google them. I had a Britax marathon in there at one point and it sucked - way to big and bulky for the car and it is no safer than the Radian. Radian also accommodates taller kids. We are still using them for our 5 year old! Colours were grey/tan which even match c900 tan and buffalo grey perfectly! not sure if that is the same now though.
sounds like you found a gem! enjoy!
