good deal, especially since the body looks in excellent shape.

that car looks exactly like mine did before I moded the hood. I paid 450 for mine.

Does it have maroon interior and AL hood?

Pretty decent shape. I think you got a pretty good deal! Keep us up to date on the progress of the work on it.

Just be aware that it is the base model/ SE.
That means it's got the single piston brakes on the front.
I have a 88 SE and GTU.
I didn't want to mod the SE cause I wanted beastly brakes and 5 Lug.

As long as the interior are good and the engine runs good I say buy it. I used my SE as a interior parts car to make my GTU better.

If it runs and has under 120K miles you can probably make all your money back plus some.

or you can just change them to the 5 luggers
that, of course, would be if you didn't have another one with the bigger brakes. like me

the four lugs aren't as bad as you guys make them out to be. the rotors are lighter, the rims are lighter, the calipers are lighter.... less work to bring them up to speed and back down again. road racing might be an issue though

You bought a Turbo? Or did you buy a turbo motor? You can't just stick a turbo onto a N/A motor!
