Well, Im not sure if I would even consider the 88 LX a car lol.

No interior, motor, trans, front end, etc. I have all the body parts though I just need the front radiator support welded on so I can put them on. Same with the interior, I need the seat bolt welded so I can put the carpet in and do the rest of it.

Considering the '93 doesnt really need anything Id put the money into finishing the '88.
