*Update* since these photos were taken: The upper rad hose that goes from the thermostat to the water pump split. It has been replaced with a black OEM hose. The rear half of the center console has been replaced with one that doesn't have holes drilled into it from a previous owner's car phone mount.
I've spent the past 2 years fixing this car up to be an amazing daily driver and it is. I just need to let it go now. There's the assortment of rock chips and body dings that you'd expect with a 33-year-old car and the clear coat is peeling off the passenger fender. But the paint cleans up well, there's only surface rust in the normal locations, and the hard top seals WORK. If this listing is still posted the car is still available.
