I finally rejoined the world of the 3RDGEN!



I'm in process of closing the deal.

Whatcha think? 305 TPI, most options...

Agreed. Probably one of the first things to go, assuming its not too hard to get off.

Yes definitly get that chrome off there. With the exception of the motor, wheels and exhaust tips chrome just does not look good on any thirdgens. Other the that... good looking car with what looks like a pretty straight body

Even if it is too hard, get it off anyway.

I'd agree with that, other than that it looks good.

I saw that chrome crap on a thirdgen in the bone yard the other day. I pulled it off of the car on principal alone. It is not hard to remove. Brute force will suffice.

Its OFFICIAL - I will be picking it up on Saturday!!!!!!!!!

I'm so excited. The only other 3rdgen I've had is a '92 RS and I am REALLY excited to have a 'performance' 3RDGEN. Well, in relation to the RS anyway.

Its got 305TPI, 700R4, TTops, 145 speedo, rear disc, etc. I'm hoping its gonna turn out to be a good car.

Its not my favorite color, but I can settle, its got all of the other things I wanted.

give it a good buffing and that will make that color shine nice.
