I bought my '92 in early Janouary '05 and I've noticed that the hood shocks don't work so well in the cold. They've been fine the last few days since its been warmer, but sure enough come night, since it's still cold, they don't work much at all.

Good luck with your project. Be sure to rip up some gravel in front of the guys house who sold it to you when it's done.
