Default My 88 Lx Notchback (pics)

Found this gem on Craigslist. It had 77K original miles! VIN card, original bill of sale. This thing had been sitting for 10 years!!!!...I picked it up for $5800 cash. I have been wanting one of these since 1993. There is a God. Its has headers, MSD ignition, x pipe. I want to dress it up a bit but don't really know where to start since all my time was put into my 05. Any suggestions?

what do you want to do with it? with those kind of miles, I'd clean it up, maybe do a 5 lug swap, and just drive it as is.

looks great... depending what you want to do with it is up too you. but interms of dressing it up i would put chrome pony wheels on it so it still has the appearance of original... with little bling..

OR do a 5 lug swap and get some weld pro stars! and a cowl hood, those 2 items alone would make that car stand out and look good

since you put ur money into the 05 id do some clear headlights, 5lug swap, diff wheels and lower it

wheels choice is critical tho. wheels can make or break a car.

oh and not a fan of prostars or any sort of drag wheel on a stock motor car. especially on the street. its like you are pretending ur car is fast...
