Putting up for sale an 88 T-Top Formula that I picked up out of Cali a few months back. I have taken care of all the issues that the car had on the trip back plus a few more. The car is an 88 T-Top Formula that was repainted(3-stage pearl paint ) 4 years ago according to the PO(which looks to be accurate) that has 128K on the 2.8/auto trans. From looking at the car it used to be a sunroof car that someone did a T-Top swap on. I came to this conclusion from the sunroof holding parts still be mounted in the front compartment of the car. The install of the T-Tops looks to have been done correctly and the fitment looks good. The interior of the car has been re-colored to nassau blue and looks to have been proffesionally done. There is some wear of the color on common areas where your arm sits or handles where you grab. The car has power windows with new switches installed and have the single touch up/down mod done. The Pass side window goes up/down but not as it should and haven't checked to see if it the swtich or not. Things I have done to the car since I picked it up:
New water pump
Thermostat--drilled
Coolant flush then new coolant
Swapped in proper radiator with hoses
New plugs/wires/cap/rotor
New fuel filter
Replaced AC compressor with used unit
New AC Belt
New Orfice tube
Added 16 inch Enkie wheels with like new tires
PO looks to have replaced:
Alt and belt
Once the over heating issues where corrected on the car on the trip back the car was a soild driver that did great. Even with a cracked rear manifold the car got 23-25 MPG running 65-80 the whole time with AC one. From El Paso to Greenville Tx the only issue I had with the car was when the AC compressor locked up about an hour from the house. I have been DD the car around since I wrapped up all the minor issues with it and have had no issues with it so far. I replaced the AC compressor last week and charged the system. The AC blows very cold in the car now and seems to be holding pressure well. One issue I have noticed since getting the AC back working is that you can feel when the compressor cylces. This was also happning with the previous compressor so thinking maybe the mounts need to be replaced.
The wing is being repaired so it is not on the car in the pictures. It came apart from the seams so is is being bonded back now. Also there is a crack in the door panel as you can see in the picture below.....Also the DB is being painted so it is not pictured either.....
I planned on washing it before taking pictures but it rained all day and will be the rest of the week.....
Feel free to ask questions and I will add more to the Thread when I think about it along with pictures of what the car looks like now.... Looking to get $3500 for the car......
