This took me 11 months and about $4,500.

I don't have a real "before" picture. I forgot to take pics before I started tearing the ugly thing apart. I don't even have a pic with the 7M still in there.

It started off as a stock 87' Turbo automatic liftback with a BHG and broken everything. State inspection was expired for 6 years.
