I guess 'restoration' can (or even should, Ray?) mean a totally stock rebuild. 

It doesn't for me. It's just too broad a term.

My car was restored, but it's far from stock. What to I call that? A restomodded car? That's not even a word!

And if you put big brakes on a 'restored' car, how big a can of nomenclature worms does that open? Helllllooooo concours!

 

As far pigs and lipstick, that reminds me of beer goggles.? 

Well, I think definition #2 should fit.

and this car ain't it

[iinca]

the seats remind me of my late great granny's couch you weren't allowed to sit on

 

Why do these flippers ALWAYS ignore the engine, bay and it's surroundings? The valve cover could have

been cleaned up..and the plenums clearly need plenty of love but that's not that hard either....

 

Pet Peeve> Black trunk panels!!!! Disgusting!!!! lol Reminds me of John Kirkegaard (hope I spelled that right in case someone is googling his name in a lawsuit) at SELECT CLASSICS..He's

all about black trunk panels

 

If these Turd Polishers want restored OE money they need to pay attention to OE details....

 

then again another clueless fat wallet' will come along any second..... love the crap outta of it and impulse buy it

 

ps calling it Pam Anderson....was born hot but now just skanky

You must be short.

 

Took me a minute. 

 

If 6' is short, yes.  Never had an issue with the sunroof and head clearance.  I admit I do recline a notch further back than some.  I just love the wind in my hair and the sun in my eyes.?

 

On topic: I can't see any cracks in the dash on my phone.  That's a plus.

It's cracked.  That's a minus.  (2:25 in the video)

 

Here's the video that's posted in the description.

Always was fond of Turkis, wonder if he will accept a bid of $19,995.

A non-slicktop has never followed me home. So I don't really know what I'm missing

Fixed it for you

Tough crowd.

Turd, turd polishers? Not everything needs to be a factory refurb perfection guys. You don’t like the seat trims, you don’t like the bezels on the dials, cracked dash, okay... this can all be fixed. You might be right to say that it should be priced lower to account for this. But a polished turd is a car that is rotted out or wrecked out of square with fresh paint slapped on. I don’t see any evidence presented here by anyone to justify ripping on it like this.

Um, I was just correcting Paul.

He made a mistake!

(I quoted the evidence).

This was my take too, looks like a worthy car if the price was lower. But need to see the underneath / chassis and hear more details about the condition of the engine (compression etc). The interior reapholstery isn't to my taste, but it looks like a quality job.

.its a pretty Turkis tii. ... A nice rare color for a tii.

I agree.

Nice car why trash it?

if this seller gets 49.5k is it not better for all us 02 owners?

Happy New Year.

[BarneyT]

You just have to know how to the math, you put 15k more into it and it’s a 60k car...

Pictures of bottom...
