People were harping on a fog light lens and stickers. What a joke.
The BS about the lights I agree with it was your comments about body filler and other aspects of the car that showed your ignorance.

The car was a hack job. I can spot this crap a mile away. The old school lap welded fenders were covered by decals most likely due to the shrinking filler that is already apparent on other parts of the car. Yet you insisted a car can have fenders welded. Body filler applied, painted and have decals applied in a 2 week period which any amateur knows that is BS. Try removing those decals and either the paint will peal off or the paint underneath is hazy. Paint and filler needs time to cure. It was already apparent in this photo.



The car had 174k miles with an early ringless replacement engine with unknown miles and no TSB addressed. The fuel lines were crimped improperly the car had 20 items or so noted by the PPI including oil leaks and IMO mediocre leak down and compression numbers. Two pot rear calipers painted red with BBS wheels and KW suspension. If you have wholesale access are not all that expensive. An interior an 8th grader can do with a roll bar that would probably hurt more than help. Bed liner spray used for the interior. 4 point harnesses and so much more wrong with the car.

Face it you and the others bought into the hype of fancy photos and flashy decals. All Poser stuff. Irrespective of how many things i can point out about the car that was rushed and done poorly it was driven hard and put away wet being sold as something it wasn't.

If you want to learn a thing or two I would be happy to help you out. Maybe it is the only way to get you from talking out your Arse. I am in North Jersey and work on these cars all the time from engine building to body restoration, suspension and more.

If this was remotely worth more than $60k it was a lot. At $90k all in that should make my build worth $200k or more and I know that I would be smoking crack to say I could get close to that despite the twin turbo 993 engine and short geared 6 speed box along with a plethora of truly expensive and top of the line parts. Although If someone wants to pay that much I will add whatever decals they want for free.
