it feels great to be back =)
I got my 2nd FC a couple days ago for $1k, its a 86 se. everything is decent except for the taco size dent on drivers side fender and the biggest one that bugs me is the passenger door, its all bashed in but i can get it fixed. just thought id show u guys some pics, so enjoy!
oh yah, i decided to paint my rims black since i dont really care about them.

Otherwise not bad at all for what you paid. How does it run? How many miles. Congrats on the find and welcome back!

Its a 86 BASE. SE is what they called BASE in 88.
Mine is a 88 SE and looks exactly like yours. Except with some newer looks on the inside.
Im not a big fan of spray painted black wheels. Personally, they make the car look like a junker. I would spray paint them silver or aluminum or something.
I would also install a S5 radio and vent trim and get rid of the plastic crap that breaks even when new. They pretty much pop right in.

FCking - the car has roughly 200k miles on it and it runs great! but theres a minor oil leak i found, if u look under where the battery is and look up a little theres a leak, dunno what it could be. will take a pic of it later.
masonrx7 - im not really into those kind of rims sorry, im looking for some mesh wheels like the good ol BBS ones.
i took a trip to the junkyard earlier and picked up some parts including a lip from an old school celica. i did this to my old FC so it should look nice on this one aswell. i will post pics when im done.
heres a pic of my old FC i had back in 2003-2005:
