Ok, here she is. I bathed her today and she is ready to show herself off! Can anyone guess what year/model she is?

Thanks for all the compliments. it is 1986 1/2 NA base lightweight. I am not going to list all mods. I do wonder what it weighs now. It started at about 2500 lbs, and I ripped all the extras off (air pump, acv, ac, egr, heavy mats), lighter alum suspension, alum hood, lighter wheels/tires, came without power steering. It must weigh about 2200lbs?

Lightweight with power windows, power mirrors, storage bins, and a sunroof (unless it's just the spoiler)?
Power mirrors were lighter than manual mirrors
(also weighed em)
storage bins are just the lids and are the same weight as the wood (YES WOOD) that the car came with. origianaly the car had no bins just carpet over wood, those of you with a base know what I am talking about.
sunroof, well, cant do much bout that :-)

S5 seats from a gxl as well.... I did the same exact thing. Took my '89 gxl seats and dropped them in my 88 TII. Much more comfy. The seatbelts are a dead give away for pre-S5. Still, that's beautiful.

its also funny that the larger brakes weigh less than the base model brakes. I think it is because of the alum front 4 piston brakes and the hollow disks instead of solid. People probably think the upgrades that I made added weight, but actually made it lighter.. go figure

Huh? I think your scale is broken...
UniqueTII, yea you are right, the sport did not come with all that. They are just upgrades done by me.
Thanks,
