  • ok new guy with pics!

    hey folks, my name is Justin, I bought this car about a year ago and it's just been sitting there slowly rotting, so I decided to have a spare, that I would fix it up and get it rolling again. Between my dad and I, we've had 8 of these, and we just love em'. 89' carbed, 94k.

      yeah, ive been poking around the site seeing that people say the black one is rare. honestly, to me it looks more like a dark gray. maybe its just sun fade?

        excellent work there.

        i do like the colour as well. i have seen a couple of black ones, both 2 doors, never the 5 doors.

        what are your plans for the beast there?

          well, ive got a 91 model and a 90 model to pull parts from, so im going to do a seat swap (the pictured cars seats are terrible), fix the radio, and look to upgrade to 13" or 14" wheels. these 12s are just as much as the 13/14s around here.

            The was a charcoal metallic color in '88-'89 that some call black. It was a little more common. Factory true black cars are fairly rare and were later, often GL models .

                Nice. My mom's first one was that color. I've loved them ever since. Only had 3 so far, though.

                Welcome, indeed.
