Some pics of My 89 Irocz
Finally took some pics and gonna post them. Its a sweet car, I love it to death! I have redone the front wheels but its hard to tell. Stripped the clear coat, repainted the gray-silver section and lightly polished the wheel spokes. Looks great in person.

Thanks!
Would you believe 145K miles as it sits?
1000, on new tranny.
it had repaint like 6 years ago, but still nice. I take care of it, so did the original owner. I had it detailed to the smallest crevice awhile back. Took me 3 days. It looks better then than in the pics on here. Took it to a show and it was one of the nicest cars there.
Oh yeah the front Irocz wheel center cap fell off one day. Gonna get some as soon as I find them at good price. 60 for 4 is too much.

Nick your car has like 14K miles on it right? It has to be sweet. Got any pics of it? Thats amazing to have one with such low mileage. Must run great.

no under hoods pics here with me. I had one but its at my house. I havent gotten around too it yet. It does look good, but I got to clean it better. Its something I wanted to do, but havent got around to it. Too busy driving around in it or detailing something else on it.

Man that sucks. it seems like a kid like you has no business owning a car like that. I mean, You cant enjoy a car like that. You should look at getting one that is a runner. I bought this car at 18 with intention to mod it till no mods can be made. Its my #1 priority. At that condition of your car, I would be scared to touch it. Not like its super collector, but it is worth something and that you might as well continue to keep it like it has been kept.

Thanks for all the feedback guys. But its not a show car by anymeans. It can be but thats not my purpose. There are some stone chips on the front end but the front piece gets redone later this year. I plan to drive it hard and mod it. It is very nice condition and I clean it often. Its a bit of a pain in the rear but its the only way I roll. It feels wrong to drive a car thats dirty when it looks so good clean. I dont drive it in the winter, it gets stored. Also rarely take it out in the rain. Only when I had no other option.

The seats are nice but do have few tears that have been patched (glued) together. Only like two small tears on driver side with a few cracking marks and small ones on passenger seat.
The rear are like brand new. Nothing ever touched them until I bought it and had a few friends in it. It stays clean though.
Oh when I said i loved it to death i meant it. I dont know what I would do if someone did something to it or something happened to it. I would go insane and afraid I might do something stupid. LOL but seriously, its all my money from dishwashing for 3 years and all holiday/b-day money too. Are you guys like that to?
