Banned at Cruise Night

Yesterday was the weekly cruise night at one of the local McDonalds. I went there, my first time ever, with the '82 Reliant. Got to the lot and parked. Right away, one of the organizers came up to me and said the parking was for "show cars only" and that I should move or "use the driv...

Re: Fresh Pictures of the '82 Spring Special

Glad everyone liked the pics. I managed to correspond with the car's original owner, who sent me a letter detailing the car's history. Use it as part of my show display, a neat touch.

That little hole in your hinge....spring time tip

Open the door of your K, look at the hinge, see the little hole in the center of the vertical section on both the top and bottom hinges??? That is the lubrication hole, get a spray can of Lithium grease with the long red plastic tip, like the type used on a WD40 can. Spray in the grease until it run...

Re: Fresh Pictures of the '82 Spring Special

The paint is daystar blue on top, pearl white on the bottom. The wheels are the optional road wheels for the K, the Omni Horizon had them too, but the K has it's own wheel centers, as shown on this car Allpar people told me that about 75 or so were made, my research and memories from back in the day...

Fresh Pictures of the '82 Spring Special

Out for some air, here are some pics of the Spring Special. Note it's factory Mopar pedal dress-up kit. 39,000 original not-turned-over miles, numbers matching paint and trim, this car is original as sold, except for the 6 disc remote-head Mopar CD changer hid in the trunk! The car runs, drives and ...

Re: what is everyone up to

Finished detailing the lower edge of the '82 body where someone mis-located the jack and apparently used the lower lip to lift the car in the front, instead of the factory jack point. Some minor lip-bending with the needlenose pliers and a little paint and it is good as new. The jack points are all ...

Do you have this rare part on your first gen K??

Just a little rare part trivia......the very last of the '81s and probably some of the very early 82's had a carpeted section under the dash by the steering wheel. It attached to two existing bolt holes on the interior steering mount and had tabs that allowed it to slip up under the lower dash edge,...

Re: New Member 1981 Reliant

The first 10,000 K cars "officially" sold were supposed to be a part of the 10,000 in 10 days nationwide promotion. At the dealership we were supposed to keep track of any Ks in this group that were prepped for delivery after they were sold, one of the "quick indicators" was supp...
