Any pics that you'd like to take. That is one very clean FB and Formula White is a great color. How many miles on it? What kind of plans for it? Great deal

Its quite possibly my favorite color for a 1st gen, an incredible deal indeed. has about 215k kms, or 133k miles approximately.

I plan to get a nice wheel & tire package, do a bit of interior work (slightly rough brown leather).. aftermarket fuel & intake system, already has magnaflow exhaust (only 5 months old)

It's looking good man, congratulations! I just installed some mudflaps just like that on mine. I'm not a fan of the chrome fender trim though. Hey, what's that on your front bumper there, a deer warning whistle? Or maybe moose and caribou up there?

Wow that's a nice one, incredible deal and one of my favorite colors. I've never seen one with the little mud flaps, although I've wondered what they would look like or if they are available. From your pictures it looks like it has been very well cared for, if it doesn't have any serious issues like rust, you have a potentially mint stock with some very interesting and rare add ons. Keep it stock or easily reversible!

And welcome to the club.

Ray

NIce ... unmolested not I can see a couple of things, the chrome around the wheel well (if they just clip off, take them out and see if there's any rust, people usually buy them just to hide the rust and that will speed it up by trapping water in there most of the time. Also Is there subs in the car? Saying that just because I see a big fuse with a blue wire on the strut tower in the engine bay. Besides that, snap a couple more shots and welcome to Lucky 7

I'll get more pics today. That fuse & wire seem to be routed into the car to the back, but not hooked up to anything, previous owner must have been planning an amp install. (lucky me, I am too!)
