That's awesome. Love what you did to restore the dash too. That thing will never go bad now.

the dash was a ton of work and still needs work, hopping to pull it out soon and touch it up and paint it as well. hard to do that right now when its all i have on the road to drive.
I hated to have to drive it in the snow, but it survived the winter.

got back on finally. extreme1ont was me as well but had this account first. couldnt log in until now.
I know everyone hates the spoiler on my car... i will have to remember to take my camera one day and get a picture of this car i seen... same spoiler but on a sunfire only it was on the edge of the rounded part on the trunk lid and was over hanging the tail lights LOL. now compared to that... mine looks half decent at least its on straight.
Also seen a feiro sitting on the same back road with the rear clip off and at a quick look driving by looked like maybe a small block in it, looks like its been sitting a while going to stop and ask about it and see what is in it. whatever it was.. it was shiny maybe its a hopped up 2.8 or 3.1

I like how this beretta looks. The body color rim in my opinion look good. This would be a nice car to have in the Beretta comunity.

it needs some work but in that picture it looks its best. interior needs some work , driver seat and roof liner. engine bay is disgusting dirty but possibly has been oil sprayed over the years and collecting crap. has the good ol 3.1 auto but newer style mounts so if i buy it then i would like to do a 3400 swap and keep it auto.
This car was for sale last fall and never sold. but is still there. i would love to own it looks like its rust free at least in good shape body wise and would be nice to have along with my current 88. long as its still there before end of this month it will be in my driveway

That should be just what mine looked like from the factory. I never saw it in that condition though! haha And I had to weld in my newer style mount.

this is a 1 owner car and not driven much since 1995, 160,000 KM on it. My 88 had 198,000 when i got it, been driving it since August last summer and its sitting at 214,000 KM now and the odometer doesn't always work the trip one sticks sometimes and the odo works and doesn't work randomly, so most likely i have put closer to 18-19 K on it so far.
160 K is pretty low for the year, the body is nice, i have close ups of the rims they look pretty good, clear is coming off i think in a few spots on the outer edge on them. i think the clear and paint is flaking near the rear window on the roof and rear pillars and trunk lid i think thats a common area for the pealing to start on these cars since mine is the same way.
Its straight though doesnt even look like there is any small dings or nothing on the body.
I hope i can own it

ill know before the end of this month.

Got side skirts to finish off my z26 kit i would like to put on my car. i do not have brackets for the skirts though.
Wondering if anyone has made their own brackets before ? my friend suggested getting some steel and bend it on a aluminum brake.
I was thinking... the brackets on the doors... they run the full length of the door, i think i could cut it into 3 or 4 inch long pieces and space them out, giving me 2 pieces for the rear of the skirt and 1 piece for the front. i think this would be more then enough to hold them on since they clip in on top as well as under the rocker panel i cant see them falling off.
I still havent made it back to the JY where i found my bumpers on a z26, the brackets were on the car however the skirts were missing and forgot my drill to drill out the rivets. highly doubtful that it is still there but if it is then that will be a big bonus.
