looks like a good car. I like the white. and the issues seem to be minor. Give the NE guys a call and a nice weekend, gather the parts, and I'm sure we could all get that thing running like a champ.
I'd say keep it if you can. Parting it out might be more of a hassle unless you plan on only grabbing what you want and dumping the rest.

Well, the end result is to strip it. Finally got it to my bodymans, and we crawled all through it. Way too much cancer in it to save. Bummer. Would have been a nice car.
Anyway, I will get my parts off it and maybe someone local needs some stuff too. After that. off to the boneyard.... :(

NO NO NO, you are not sending off a Touring Sedan to the junkyard. They are as rare as my */C LSS only with twice the luxary features.Most optioned out car ever. I just couldn't afford it at the time. No joke, that thing had more options that a BMW 740iL. This is not a car that goes to a junkyard.

All the good stuff that I can pull off will go into my 95. Should end up with the worlds only 1995 Touring Sedan.....

That is wierd that the underbody is bad. Usually the body rusts before the underbody. What is it like when you drive it? Can it be driven, or is it just not safe to be driven? I suppose you gotta worry about the motor falling out.

Well, having seen what it looks like underneath, and having seen the engine compartment, it is not something I would like to drive any distance. The inner fender area on the passenger side is trashed. Bottom of the A pillar on the drivers side, where the door bolts up is pretty rotten also. You have no idea how much I wanted to make this car a driver. There just ain't enough there....
