My progress on my 95 850
I bought this car on march this year I've put a lot into this car cause i think is worth it.
new entire suspension such as control arms, inner outer tie rods, new bilstein struts, strut bushing and spring seat rear strut bushings; on the engine entire tune up, to cap and rotor, spark plugs and wire clean entire PCV system, MAF sensor, clean throttle body the car runs perfect but the check engine still on, Brakes everything from pads to rotors. then hit the car with a tree and damage was front bumper, hood, headlight, radiator and condensator, a front bar and the whole bracket that holds the headlights. all this done by myself tought i have to took the car to a shop so i can put the bumber cover straight and align it but everything else is diosmounted and put by me. Now I still got my donor car I've taken out rear spoiler interior lights etc. some cosmetic issues the donor has the trans out im not thinkin of repairin it so im gonna stick aROUND with it. Ok so on my car i want it to look rare in here so i repainted the spoiler black the gas door and the hood black those are the only three things that are going black. the front bumper im gonna paint it normal color. the major problem i got now its the dash is ruined unrepairable so im gonna took the dash out of the other car and put in mine. some exterior things such as HID and possibly imm gonna buy some of that new headlights with angel eyes but black i bet those would look great ion him
Questions:
1.Regarding the check engine light on i have the codes what should I do the car is runnig great no stalling or bad idle starts great on cold or warm temp.

Oh man. First, love the color of the car, if it is what it looks like in the pics. It looks to be Auburn, which is an awesome color. I'm not too fond of the black accents on the car, I would go all solid color. And the dash isn't too bad to get out, it's just a few screws here and there, looks like you need a new complete dash/center console/dash pad.
Screws and plastic ties FTL.

Thanks!! Yeah I love the color too I havent seen an 850 in that color. and lucky for me I got the dash from the donor car that i bought but im afraid Im scared of taken it out cause I might damage the clips or some thing i got the chiltons manual but I dont konw I got confuse.
There's a couple auburn 850's on VS, but those are the only ones I've seen. I've never done anything with the dash, but if you follow the chiltons and take your time, I've heard it's relatively easy to do.
