Title: 86 xr7
Post by: Dansbirds on July 26, 2009, 11:14:04 AM
Well as some of you know I was the one that bought yellow86coogar's XR7.  Getting it back together now and figured I would post a quick pic. I will post more when its done. Just started putting the trim back on and yes the awfull frt rims will be going by-by. I didnt even bother to mask them off when I painted it as I hate them that much and I would guess there is limited overspary on them, I guess the paint hates them as well. Anyway here it is

More or less, it was originally a sort of charcoal color on the bottom but I didnt really like the 2 tone. I really wanted a Bird but we will see if this grows on me or not

No I am not sure who bought his yellow one. This one from what I know was one his son drove for s short while after getting a new motor put in it(I think by 5.8fastcat). I think it has maybe 1000 miles on the motor now. It was 2 tone silver to begin with. I found it listed on this site when I was wanting a tc. I know its not a tc but its close and if I find a tc I want ever I will sell this and get one.
Title: 86 XR7 new pic 8/1
Post by: Dansbirds on August 01, 2009, 12:35:14 PM
Well I cleared out the garage and figured I would snap a pic of all the foxes in a row. After I looked at it I noticed they are in order as well so its kind of neat to see 80,83,86,87. The 65 on the end looks a bit out of place though. Now I have to decide if I should sell my 70 or if I will ever get started on it
