Thank you again for the past years of videos Eric!
Quick thought RE water in the Vigor trunk – I’d bet the rear tail light gaskets are hardened and leaking. The Rain water runoff from the rear window runs around the trunk opening / gasket, and then comes straight down onto the top of thet tail light assemblies and pools there a bit. Only thing keeping it out of the trunk then is the gasket between the light cluster and metal body panel, and after 20 years those tend not to seal too well. I feel a bit silly offering advice to YOU of all people, but hey – couldn’t hurt right?
Happy Holidays, and enjoy the vacation!

Wow Eric! I’ve been a viewer for a long time, but now I just HAD to make an account to say: Welcome to the Club!
I’ve owned a 93 Vigor for 4 years now, and your videos have been essential in showing me some of the things I’ve needed to know to keep this car on the road.
I literally could not keep myself in my chair when I saw the name of this video – I’m pretty sure I woke the neighbors in my excitement! 😳
That radio you showed in the video certainly looks like the right unit, does your Vigor still have the speakers above the rear view mirror? Those DSP radios are mighty scarce so congratulations on holding onto one!
No oil leaks? Not even from the distributor seal? Impressive. Also impressive that it’s only 132k miles, most of us are up in the 200k range. I’m a member of the Vigor owner’s club you mentioned, and someone recently linked to our mailing list pictures of a Vigor dead in the junkyard from a collision, with 986K+ miles on the odometer!
I’m seriously excited now. I had hoped you would post a video someday fixing something on a Vigor. Never in a million years did I expect you to BUY one! Mine is coming up on needing a timing belt again, so my heart skipped a beat when you said you might someday do a video on that procedure. I know that video may not come soon, or ever, but it would be happy coincidence if it came out before I attempt that replacement.
If you DO go for a manual swap the black plastic panel surrounding the shifter does unscrew from the center console. So if you find a manual center console that isn’t in good condition or a color match to your interior, just take that part off of it.
This is so AWESOME! :banana:
