My Fiancee's Vert

Whizbang · 09-03-2008, 09:19 AM

So my fiancee has joined our ranks as a rotary owner! She bought this nice 1988 vert. Seats are seriously the nicest condition seats i have seen in an 88. I have seen only one better 1991 vert.

She wanted the car to have a little standout-ness so she painted the emblems pink. Not overdone or trashy but definitely kills my manhood when i get to drive it.

Looks good. Get it cheap?

Whizbang · 09-03-2008, 11:15 AM

eh not too cheap. 3000. but the car was extremely well keeped and has some nice items here and there.

Borla exhaust (sounds great)
Had a short throw shifter, but she hated it so its on the TII now
Adjust sway bar links,
New Konis all around
Strut tower bar

etc etc

Looks like the top is in good shape too, that definitely takes a hit in the wallet when you have to get that done. How's the little stubby antenna work for her? My OEM antenna bit the dust and I need a replacement.

Well I think you have the beginning of a fantastic car. Take it one step at a time and one paycheck at a time, and you'll end up with a car that you'll enjoy driving and won't be embarassed to be seen in. Good luckl on your project.

sadly this car has since been totaled by a jackass who doesnt know how to merge onto a freeway.

*tear*

I'm sorry to hear that, that #%*@$&, Maybe you'll be able to get a hold on a good deal on a vert again. Hang in there.

Silver86 · 10-10-2009, 05:47 AM

your girls ok though, right?

I know the curse of totaled verts! I had just finished remaking one of my own when a hit and run driver popped it from behind and pushed it into a car in front. Totaled.

Sucks to hear that news.
