UH!! Yep, that would be a nice weight loss. Not very aerodynamic, but a nice weight loss.

Oh it was in decent shape, BUT, the wife wrecked it long ago. You couldnt really tell it but I knew it was there! The bumpercover had some bad spots, the lower ground effects up front wasnt looking its best and just some other minor annoyances! Plus the new 3" hood had to be painted so I opted for a new paintjob. It did help that all my friends work in a body shop!


Heres a recent pic from about three weeks ago......

My friend drove his 89 'bird around the block a couple times with no hood, hatch, doors, interior, front/back bumper, fenders, etc. Only thing in it was driver seat. Lol it would do a mean 2nd gear scratch :P

Its just the factory color, Arctic white, the pictures make it look good but if you walked up on it you could see all the crappy paint, and bad repairs from old wrecks! I wrecked it into a ditch to keep from hitting another car and I got it fixed, one week after it was out of the shop my wife lost it in a curve in hard rain and put it back in a ditch! Didnt have the heart (or money) to call my insurance and tell them to pay for it again!
