Figured I would show it here as well. Been a long time since I really was here a lot!
Anyway three weeks ago I Was at a friend's son's 1St b-day party and they forgot their camera so I ran home to grab ours. On the way home I noticed the 88 LX drop top that has sat at the Barber shop up the street had a for sale sign in it. Took a peek and saw the price and knew I had to have it. Told the wife and she was all about it. Drove back by on the way home and bought the stupid thing. I was thinking of a nice quick flip, But Kim loves it and claimed it. Sigh.
Car was from FL when it was new, moved up here and was stored winters. it is so clean underneath. Has a crap-o paint job on it, newer top, and a 2.3/A4ld combo.
Trans leaks (front pump)but it still moves fine. 98K on it, and got it for the pittance of $300 [Smile] Guy also gave me an extra mint nose with lights, a T5, pedal assy, shifter plate,drive shaft and a bunch of other stuff he got for it over the years.
It's going to get a stock 2.3T/auto for the wife to drive around while we build her 80 Notch.
as it looked when I got it home
My daughter Jillian and Wife Kim playing with trying to Buff it

The third night we had it Kim was blocking and feathering it, and here I have the fenders fit up and new nose set on it
Got a deal on some ponies for it
Shot the door as a test panel Saturday to make sure Kim liked the color.
And the feature car style wing for it
More to come soon!
