Hello From Nevada

[Clohesey]

Hello SHO Forum Members,

I thought i should introduce myself. I live in Winnemucca Nevada, and work at a gold mine as a Blasthole Driller. i am on my 2nd SHO, and for some reason i really like them.


Below is my first SHO, a 93 ATX if i remember right. sadly i traded it in on another vehicle, I should have kept her, but with around 220,000 mile on it i was worried about engine or tranny failure with such high milage.





This is my current SHO, a 91 MTX,its in ruff shape, and it will probly end up being a parts car, but i have done alot of work to it, a complete brake job, new struts, both CV axles, tie rods, wheel bearing, starter, alternator, fuel pump, and a few more items that im forgetting right now. since the pictures, i have also got new tires and the original rims for it. this one is high milage, the meter say 98,000 miles, but it was disconnected the i purchaed it, and from the condition, i would guess it much higher than 98k.







i joined this forum to expand my knowlage of the SHO, and help with repairs and mods, as well as share experiences with repairs troubleshooting, ect.

i would be very interested in joining a SHO club, but have not heard of any that are close, like in Reno or Boise.

Thats all i have for now, Thanks.
Lance.

Also, i did not metion my plan for the SHO i have now, i am undecided, i will either do a full resoration on the 91 MTX, or buy another in better condition.

looks pretty good from afar! Is it rusty?

Nice gen 1 love black. If it is not in bad of shape (looks good from the pictures ) restore and mod it . I kick my self for selling mine. Welcome

No rust, there are some dents, 1 above the rear driver side door, and 1 above the rear tire, front and rear bumpers are cracking and need replaced, need new outer door handles, all the door seals and windows seals are cracking/ falling apart.both fron seats are ripped, shifer/console assembly and ashray assembly needs to be replaced, heater/ac control unit worn out. the hole that bolt the rod shifer to the tranny was stripped out, i has been healacoiled and is missing the rubber bushing, so sometime its hard to get into reverse. high milage engine and tranny, runs ok now, but will need to be replaced or rebuilt evenually.

and a bunch more small items, resoration is possible, but will be extensive, and im not sure if i will have time. i still may keep this one, buy another,to drive while i restore this one.. i am thinking a 95 ATX in very good condition.
