I got stupid while in Vegas a few years ago and bought a fixer upper 87 coupe.
I drove it 1100 miles home without incident, so I guess the force was with me. The wife named it the "nugget". More like a black lump of coal,LOL.
Since that time I have done the following to it
Interior:
mass backed carpet,
dynamat though out,
refoamed and upholstered seats (power driver side) with corvette script embroidered in head rests, Was a cloth interior car originally and is still cloth although not oem cloth.
custom bread box eliminator,
Lloyds floor mats,
all instrumentation in dash works correctly,
pioneer radio w / terk XM module. 600 watt pioneer amp, 4 Infinity reference speakers.
Has a small 3/4 inch long crack in center of dash pad.(your plastic Jesus would cover it up perfectly)
new armrest pads and threshold pads.
new gas struts on rear glass
rear glass defrost works, no broken lines
ice cold a/c, new accumulator and orfice/filter.
all weatherstripping replaced w/ new.
Exterior:
new PPG uerthane paint, car was sanded down to oem primer.
Smoked glass top in excellent condition.
new brake pads, (all 4 corners)
completely flushed brake hydraulics.
ABS works excellent.
flushed steering system, no morning sickness.
new oem style y-pipe and mufflers.
flushed coolant system, new thermostat,
hypertech chip,
new ecm,
new adjustable shocks (4)
trans fluid changed & new filter.
new plugs /wires/cap rotor.
new oil filter, fuel filter, air filter.
cleaned iac,
some new weatherpak connectors on engine,
new egr switch,
new serpentine belt.
