The "New" 95' Coupe
So, I closed on a new to me 95' coupe today, very excited to bring this one home. It was a one owner, with 90k miles, AZ car. It needs some work due to the thru bolts leaking as bad as they are. It was at the right price to buy it and have the engine dropped. It's my first manual P-car and I am very excited to start on the slippery slope towards a RS clone.
It still has a lot to be cleaned as it has been sitting the last couple of years with very few miles and even less attention. By next week it should be nice and shinny!

Until the right turbo comes along. . . . .
I can speak from experience.
It is interesting how each car has it's own "personality" so to speak, the same but different.
Best of luck and it looks like it will clean up nice!!!

I think the 1-10 is very subjective, I would say I have high standards but that's just me.
It scored low in mechanical because, the thru bolts are leaking and the engine is coming out.
It scored lower in exterior because, the paint needs a little TLC and then it should score higher.
It scored lower in interior because, It has one seat with a hole in it, even though the rest of the interior is in great condition.
