I've been around the forums for a while and save for commenting on other's builds and starting a higher-hp G54B build thread in Advanced Virtual Mechanic I haven't posted many of my own threads. Finally ready to post one up.
When I bought this car it was sold to me as an 89 Starion SHP, which I have since been able to verify. The previous owner purchased it as an 87 conquest and the VIN plate was missing so the NY DMV had to do some homework on hidden VINs to find its true identity. When I purchased it it had a conquest trunk and the key only opened the pass. door and ignition. Now I have all of the lock cylinders on one key and put some fresh paint on it. It's black base coat with bluegrass dry pearl mixed into the base clear. In low light it looks black, dark blue most of the time, and bluish purple-green in direct sunlight. Enough talking, here's a picture timeline of the last 2 years from purchase to its current state:
The car got both fenders replaced, rear quarters and wheel arches reconstructed, new header panel and grille, various dents and dings repaired, frame rails replaced...Still a few things to do but it's well on its way to being respectable and more importantly bringing a rare 89 back from the dead!!!
