I wouldn't necessarily call it stock, but yes the body is in great condition. I do plan on doing the 99 conversion on the exterior.

Definitely on the agenda, but I have to take care of the 5th gear syncro on the pillow bushings first.

Ya, but the tires are made in 01, so I'm going to have to wait to put them on. I just had to drop a lot of money on the transmission.

I think I got a good price, not a smoking good price, but a good price. The car was already modded when I got it, but I have a few changes I'll be making.

Pretty clean. I already had to rebuilt the trans and replace the clutch. Next on the agenda is the pillow bushings, then everything else is fun stuff.

Ya, it took me about 3 months or so. There was a beautiful silver touring in VA on the for sale section of these forums.

Just keep looking. Like I said I saw 3 months of FD's that were beat up in some way shape or form. By the time I came across this one I was so tired of looking at beat up cars I bought it.

Nice FD. Not a fan of chrome, but I am liking those wheels.
