Cool My new FC (56K beware!!)

Well, I'm officially an RX owner now! Picked up my 1986 GX today. It's in great condition, it's been repainted (though I don't know the color code, so I'm gonna hafta have my touch up spray custom mixed... ), has basically no rust (just a couple of little dings with surface rust) and runs great. It needs new seats and some interior work. And has an idle problem (I'll make a new thread on that, assuming I can't track it down with the search feature). Aside from the VERY MINOR idle issue, it runs VERY strong. Oh, and take a look at the milage.... Total cost, 750 dollars + 12 bucks for all new belts (they were all shot). it has new tires, plugs, wires, and brakes. Anyway, on to the pics!!!











The hatch is a little beat (though the struts work) and the tail lights are faded, but I'm getting perfect condition parts for both included in the price of the car, just have to pick them up! Now I must resist the urge to mod.... much. Hehehe...

Nice red rotary rocket- think the phone dial wheels are a little funky- but great car, man. Outstanding mileage!

Bah, can't keep it -that- way. It's up for a full detailing, interior and exterior. Probably a full Zaino system detailing, new wheels (at some point soon), new seats, and I'm redoing the interior to black/red two tone. (and all the broken plastic will be repaired/replaced) The engine will stay mostly stock for the time being, as I'm going to track down all the necessary goodies for a TII swap. This car may be the daily driver, but that doesn't mean she's not going to get babied as well!
