My '88 finally arrived from New Hampshire, and the first thing I did was buff n wax to remove(or at least temporarily hide) 32 years of oxidation. I proudly present, The Distraction, so named, because another friend says it will distract me from working on the '68 it sits beside in the shop! :shrug:, I'm an equal opportunity slacker, so they'll both be begging for attention! LOL.
VERY nice! I absolutely love it. I wish mine was the blacked out XR7....
What are the plans for it?
For now, sort out the issues with the oil leak and a/c. Someone also painted the intake with chrome paint that looks like azz now, so I'll remedy that. May see if a paintless place can pop some of the more egregious dings out.
Other than that, the plan is to enjoy a long time desired car!
Oh, may replace shocks.....tended to "float" quite a bit.
Also thinking about a modern double-din stereo, since I don't have the EQ.........any info people have discovered on that would be appreciated.......
Very Nice!!! I would love to find a super cheap low mileage 88 Bird to build with what I know as opposed to what I didn't know when I started many years ago
As would I Vinnie, as would I. ha.

Hope you are still enjoying this ride.
I have had mine for almost 33 years.
My wheels were originally grey. I repainted them black and have had to repaint them several times over the years.
As for the stereo,
