New FD Owner in STL

First off, you guys have already be a huuuuuge help just searching for questions and falling into the rabbit hole of other interesting threads. I recently acquired a stock, 93 base SSM with 34k miles. Paying market prices today hurts but I wasn't in a position before now to be able to. However, it's good to see these cars getting the value they deserve.

Anyway, thanks for being a huge resource for us newer guys. I'm lucky to have a handful of FD owners near me who are super helpful and knowledgable. Not planning anything radical. I'll keep it mostly stock with reliability and cooling mods. So happy to be apart of the community, 29 years later.

Cheers,
Jake

That's a great looking base SSM! I too have (hopefully) recently acquired my first FD after a long search and have similar plans. No kidding about market prices... though hopefully those prices will help preserve those FDs that remain in good condition, of which yours appears to be one. Got anymore pics?

There is nothing quite like the first drive in your dream car.

Just meant from when the car was new all those years ago.

Haven’t gotten too many photos yet. But here’s a couple from when the car was getting loaded up to ship down to me.
