Just got my car.

Max777 · 03-23-2008, 10:57 PM

So, I just picked up a ble 1991 vert for 1K! It's a bit rough, and has 140,000 miles on it, but the girl drove all 200miles back home withought a hickup!

Here's some pics, I will post more tomorrow.

Still at the farm:

Home, safe after a 200 mile trip. My friend's camera can NOT take a picture in the dark!

A little rough, but can't beat the price

Max777 · 03-24-2008, 12:42 PM

Yeah, happy as hell!

JL1RX7 · 03-24-2008, 01:07 PM

Yea a little rough, but 1k and some tlc and work looks like it could be a real nice one. I love my vert. I prefer to drive it over my coupe every day of the week! Good luck with it.

do i hear turbo swap ?

Looks like a whole new front clip would be a better investment at this point. The whole nose looks tweaked in the pic from the front. Get some new fenders, bumper cover, lenses. Save the hood if you can. Those aluminum hoods are worth a mint.

some crappy night pics... This camera, again, just cant stand night shots!

N.RotaryTech · 03-26-2008, 06:49 PM

That last shot looks fairly decent.

Nice front license plate.

Nice car overall though. Couple quick fixes and she'll look great.

Max777 · 03-30-2008, 04:51 AM

Yeah, that's actually inside the car, but on the pic with the flash, it looks like I put it between the windscreen and the windshield wiper! I only did that because I didnt have a front plate mount kit available. I'm going to make a custom bracket to attach it to the side later.

what happend the ftp,blinker and fog lights?

Max777 · 03-30-2008, 11:14 PM

Some idiot ran it through a fence, then sold it to a farmer...

Bit of a shame, considering that the Original owner seemed to take such good care of it!

Not bad for a running car.
