Honestly, didn't look at who manufactured it. Bought it through the parts supplier here so it wasn't OEM. However whenI removed it today the peice that goes through the firewall and broke has airbubbles all through the mouldedplastic which I figure may have been a weak point?

A little aboutmy car:
We are once again the proud owners of an '84 LX Hatchback 5.0L 5spd. We bought her from her original owners in '92 had her until '98 ( kept her original and in mint condition ...sadly decided to sell her in May of '98) Put her on my uncles car lot .. two young guys took her for a test drive on Friday afternoon and the police figure they made keys for her on their test drive ) On Sunday morning she was GONE! His insurance was a 5000 deductible and wouldn't cover it ( we had taken our insurance off her while she was sitting on his lot) .. We had no car and no cash! Police checked into the guys who had her for a drive but of course they "didn't take the car"
GOOD NEWS she was recovered June 22nd, 2006, in Bridgewater NS.. the guy who had the car had her towed to a Mida's garage because he put the clutch out of her...the mechanic noticed she had no VIN in the window and the young guy couldn't give him the VIN (as they enter it when doing any work, he said all of his paperwork was home and he would have it towed to "his buddies and he could fix it" the mechanic was suspicious and alerted police).. she was mint when stolen and for 22 years old and missing for 8 yrs and 1 month she is still in decent shape) I recieved a call from a police dept asking if I had a car stolen .. I said yeah 8 yrs ago, I had a mustang stolen.. the officer says " well you won't believe me but we recovered your car" I said "Seriously? What kind of shape is it in now?" He said " for being 22 yrs old it isn't in bad shape" After the RCMP auto theft unit was finished with it and confirmed the original VIN (on the unibody and the firewall) we were allowed to take her home July 2nd/06 .. we arrived at their impound ....showed proof of original ownership and towed her home...We went right to work at getting her cleaned up and running fine... put her on the road July 13th/06.. i know she was MEANT TO BE MINE! .. She was stolen before she could be sold and found her way back to me after 8 yrs... you can judge for yourself but I think its a damn original story!

Wow, incredible story! Any pics of the car?

Ahhh pro your child must be older than mine because I still have to use the type of seat that snaps into a carrier and has a carry handle and faces the opposite way as my little one is still to small to face forward[&:]

That was actually the reason we were selling it back in '98 make room for kids, ours has the recaro seats and when the infant seats were turned around facing backwards you had to have the front seats pulled all the way forward to keep from it from pressing on the back of the seat LOL. my kids are old enough now that since it's back they fight for the front seat

Yeah that seat made it through 2 boys. No longer needed. It doubled for a rear facing as well.
