Alrighty, I haven't done a Carfax on it yet. I have a week before doing anything and I don't believe that hte owner (dealer) will get enough money on the auction. I got his e-mail writing me backa ndhe says, "hello, to end the auction early or the "buy it now" price is $15903.70. thanks". Well, to me it sounds like a good deal.



I'm gonna ask him to provide me some more pics of the car including the engine bay (close ups of where the tape should be over the holes as Mike said) and the interior pieces.



Thanks guys for pullng for me, it's much appreciated.



Hey Rich, it's pronounced Cer-See!!! LOL

 

Tape over the fender holes?

 

if you look at your fc they have holes in the body to fender seam, so they can line it up on the assembly line, and since its made well, end up with nice fender gaps. on the fd they decided to put a peice of tape over the holes before the car was painted, so the fd's have little bits of painted tape on the fenders.



its handy now because no tape = replaced fender, and if the gaps are nice on the outside and the holes dont line up = bent body?

Ahhh....nice. Thanks for the info!!

 

The front plate frame on that car worries me. If it's always been there, that means the car has always been run with crappy air flow to the radiator and intercooler.

 

yup, its good stuff to know, cause you can walk up to peoples cars, and go "oh its been wrecked"...

fender removal doesnt require touching the tape...

 

yup, but if the tapes not there, the fenders been replaced



mike

 

Not always true I pulled the tape off one day to see what was under it, and it wouldn't stick back on! Curiosity got to me.. LOL

 

nice find D. too bad none of the pics from the auction worked for me.



good luck
