I'd like to show my little '91 'Bird too. Bought it last year's December from Switzerland - about 105K miles on the clock. Overall condition is pretty good - for a 18 years old car of course The paint could be better, there is some typical rust (it seems that it was the daily driver of previous owner and he drove it in winter too), but nothing too serious and unrepairable. Engine is original 305 TBI and transmission is TH700. Haven't done much yet - replaced few worn parts (rear shocks and springs, distributor, ignition wires, manifold gaskets, that were installed incorrectly by previous owner). Nearest future plans include SFC (homemade, weld-on type), some anti-corrosion work, new exhaust. The plan is just keep it simple street-legal daily-driver for summer months.

Few pics and a little bit more information in Estonian could be found here: http://www.usaraud.ee/?id=5_5_20_1361.

 

Nice looking car. Why changed the door mirrors and what mirrors does it currently have, US or Euro?

Well, it has US mirrors now - they just look better IMHO. Somebody has replaced original turn lights too (the reason should be getting white parking lights - I have seen many '91-'92 Birds with those Hella tractor lights from Switzerland or Germany), as I didn't find the originals, I replaced them with turn lights from VW Golf III.

 

Shot few pics today and some of these came out so nice that it would be a shame to not share them

So here they are:










PS. Sorry for the mud - it was raining here all the morning and that dust from Iceland's volcano seems to be coming down even now...
