Just picked up a 1992 SHO. Always wanted one, finally found one rotting away in a field. Towed it home to bring back to life to join the fleet. Emerald green with 163xxx miles. Just discovered this site, has been incredibly useful in bringing it back to life.

Welcome in! Tan interior?

Nice find. Please post pics!

Yes, it was *tan*, unfortunately due to the sunroof stuck open, the interior was too far gone, wasp infested and torn up. So, ive decided I'll make it my newest track car.
Since pulled it from the field, I dropped the tank, cleaned it, and removed the rust. I've replaced the CCRM, fuel pump, and several miscellaneous lines and fuses. And it now runs! Sounds good, about to begin the 60k on it, since reading about it here. Just now looking for little leaks here and there inside the engine bay, mainly a rusted heater hose pipe/ line I'm presuming.

No oil leaks, trans leaks, incredibly.

Here is a couple of photos as it is now, slowly coming back to life.

I have used it more than I can count already lol, it's been an absolutely fantastic site so far.

Welcome.
Good luck, and thank you for the resurrection!

If you beat on it, watch the spider gears in the differential. They like to go their own way and blow out of the case.

I'll keep that in mind, thanks.

There's some welding attempts at a workaround to strengthen that. It should be archived somewhere in the way back if you use the search function.

When I get to changing the subframe bushings, I'll check it out.

Congratulations and thank you for saving a classic.

Bringing a SHO back from the dead is the hardest route to take.

Keep all your parts, interior and otherwise, as you may change your mind on the car's use, and as you will find, used parts are still available. And new parts, if available, are downright cheap, comparatively speaking.

I congratulate your effort, and good luck for the future.

It's a route I'm glad to take. I've always wanted one of these, such a unique oddball car.

I'm keeping what is salvageable, as I've done before for another previous project/racecar retired to parts car hauler (1993 Festiva with 1.8 swap).

I like where your head is at.

I've thought about that way too much to the point Ive been considering it, making my own Shogun Festiva. But, if I ever attempt it, it'll be when the sho is just beyond saving.
