Pics of my car - posting after all this time.

Well, I guess I have spent enough time on this board that I should probably post pics of my car.   It is an 87 Carrera driver with about 115K on the clock.   I live in New Hampshire, so I spoil her frequently with twisty mountainous roads.   She is bone stock, plain Jane, but she is mine, and I like her that way...

Superb.

Drop the ride height all the way around by just a tad, and she will be transformed.

Welcome aboard, and it's refreshing to see one that isn't afraid of the rain.

Thanks.   Dropping the ride height is a mod I wouldn't mind doing.   No garage so she sees rain all the time, but never the snow.

Good old New Hampster.

I'm from New London on 89.

Nice car, and glad it doesn't see the snow!

Nice ride. Are those headlights "bone stock"? Love how green it is in the Northeast. Out here in SoCal, its all brush fire dingy.

Wow, that is a nice looking car. That whale tail can't be bone stock, can it? Excellent!

I think for 87 they are stock. Maybe I am wrong.

I am guessing, ordered as a factory option, not an aftermaket. It is the correct tail for the year.

Great Car! New Hampshire is God's country. Lived in Exeter for a while. Still have a pieve of my heart there. Maybe after my time in the Corps, I will be able to move back. I love Nh! Concerning the ride height. Yep, on your car I can definately tell it needs to be lowered. Here's a pic of mine. Do you think it needs lowering as well? Love stock cars - They just look correct. On the other hand, I'm not against doing stuff that enhances the "stock" quality. If only I had the money to do what I want! But it a hobby and fun and thats what its all about. Great car again and welcome.
