For all those who really appreciate an FC . . .

Hey everyone,

I just thought I would finally share some pictures of this beauty that I recently bought in July. I think it was well worth giving up my '89 GXL which was also in great condition for it. Tell me what you think and some suggestions to keep it in its condition... ie. the best products to use to condition the leather, keep the paint looking new, and to keep the engine in the top shape that it is in.... the entire car for that matter!

Thanks.

You can find the pics here:

Enjoy!

I get no snow ahahah, I drive my car all year with the top down. Very nice clean car, black FC's are by far the best IMO ofcourse. I bet that thing hasn't seen hardly any snow in it's lifetime.

Hold on I am still cleaning **** up......

As far as cleaners all the stuff you buy at auto part stores = teh worthless crap.
There should be a professional auto body and detail store somewhere around you. Go in there and just ask him what products to use.
Armoral and **** will just crack your dash and most of the others will over time. What you are trying to avoid is using a different product for everything. Professional products will be combos were 3 bottles will do your whole car you can do the engine bay and rims and plastics with same cleaner and the leather and the dash with another. Just makes your job easier and look better.

Thanks SJ, I bought the car for $9,000 CDN which I think is a great deal... and I hope others can agree on that too. My dad thought it was way to much for a '90 but then after he saw the car in person too he agreed the price was right.

Thanks bro, I currently am using meguiars on the car and was using on my other 7. So far so good with the results as well except i started to notice on the driver door where the leather is situated in the middle of the door is starting to dry and fade white in a small area so i've stopped using it there and just condition the seats, steering wheel, shift boot/****, and handbrake handle.
