Picking up the convertible on Sunday. (finally!!)
Friday, April 15, 2011 12:58 PM
I have been waiting for this day for about 23 years. After making its way through the family, it finally is my turn to own the little white vert. Too bad its in the 40's Sunday, but it will give me a chance to get her in the garage and give her a thorough once over.

Summer can not come soon enough!!

Pics to follow (the pic in my signature is from 1992)

Good to see another ragtop on here. Enjoy the ride and post up some more pics when you get the chance. I take it your car has been in the family?

Yes, car has been in the family (brother, then parents, then sister) since 1986.

Drove it home tonight, idles very rough, probably a sensor, and in need of a tune up. The motor mounts are shot, as well as the struts. It has 86,000 miles, so some of these things just need to be done as routine maint.

Have to say, though, she is STRAIT and not a lick of rust on her. Besides a small tear in the driver seat, she is quite young at heart.

Pics tomorrow
