This is a picture of my car in the parking lot of the Indianapolis Motor Speedway in Indianapolis, Indiana USA (home of the Indy 500 and the Brickyard 400). This picture was taken about two weeks before the 1997 Brickyard 400; in the background you can see part of the grandstands and the track. On the far left you can see a white car; it was one of the pace cars for the Brickyard 400 that they were out 'exercising' at the time.

Following is a spreadsheet of things I've fixed on my car. (Yes, I know it's long). Hopefully it will help you either when you are looking at an '88-'91 200, or give you part #'s for the one you already have.
Please take the cost of the parts with a grain of sand. You can find them cheaper, and you can pay more. You will at least get an idea of the relative cost. If you have done work to your '89-'91 200 that isn't included here, email me and I will add them to this list so they will help others.
