How much did you pay. I was like man that car is clean, then i scrolled down a little and i was like holy Shnit. No i'm just kidding. Thats clean missing a few interior parts huh. My friends still got a 87'(i think) coupe, turbo but an auto, for a thousand. Running and clean. I'm not post thieving either just telling.

palm desert is way close to coronado--my little 1986 parts ar would do that trip with her eyes shut. i HAVE an intact black dash. i HAVE a console cover. my poor ancient and ugly excellent running driveable parts car would be perfect for you or anyone else looking for these and other parts--like the rack and pinion, sooooo uch good stuff. of course, if youz guyz don't want it, i'll wait until barbie moves to cali.......

ooohh!!! i see you also need a door panel--the one which, on my parts car, is PERFECT. go figger. palm desert, eh?? i could drive out and show you how well she drives, but she's supposed to be a parts car. still too much fun to drive!

I wonder if the front suspension would work on my s130. I was doing like 120 and just couldn't stop, luckly there was a dirt road ahead. I guess i need 86 turbo or any 87+ car, but there the same aren't they. If you want to get rid of her, drive it down to Moreno valley, and drop her at my mom's that way i'll have a project next year.

the 87 has a more rounded body then the 86, but if you want a ride LMK i might make a trip out to san diego and pick up that steering rack..
