Last Picture is awesome! Looks REALLY clean. I have always been a sucker for red Formula's. Looks really clean. How much did you pay for her?

Re: my 87 formula bird aka roxanne

@maks:thanks i love her so much, and i guess its a third gen issue kinda the motors dont work on one side it would go up and i would have to pop the hood and manually lock it in place and the other one the housing is broken so i had to zip tie it other wise every bump i hit it would go about half way down lol. kinda like a lazy eye. so i kinda locked um both up and un hooked the motors for now.

@bulldawg: thanks again i was surprised i got her as clean as i did, and im only the second owner, the lady who bought it paid like three hundred to spray it with rust proofing so shes like mint, slit rust starting on the rocker panel thats it tho. and i got her for four grand she had 103 thousand on her oh and yea me two i always was a sucker for a red head lol

Sweet car.
Is it me or are those the wrong wheels for a formula? They look like the 16" Trans Am wheels.
