Default Gonna save another one!

Since my 89S4 project is nearing a close. I've decided to look to save the next one.
'88 5speed 220 car. I think it's quite a find! Given the fact that this car will probably be worth some money, I'll be looking to restore as close to factory original as possible.
Just a few more small items to finish up on the '89 and I can get to work on this!

If I were paying people to do everything, you would probably be right.

Poor thing sat in the sun. It can easily be rescued so long as it runs well and the wiring is in decent shape.

That's fantastic. There may be a tiny bit of deferred maintenance! Good luck with the restoration.

I have to look at it again but I think it has 88k. It has been repainted at some point, hence the flaking paint.

Looks like a good starting point.

Nice to see another '88 5Spd.
