Well, when i got it the car was beat......seats and dash pad needed work, drivers seat was broken, turned out to be something wrong with the seat frame, carpet torn and soaking wet, torn ragtop and windshield broken, both frt turn signal lenses and 1 marker lens broken, most bulbs on car not working, one of the tl lenses cracked, mismatched tires, leaking oil and tranny fluid, and paint worn off in some areas and so beat in others that rubbing compound didn't even bring it back to life. the body had some parking lot stuff but was pretty much rust-free and I was able to find a readable build sheet under the rear seat cushion. One of the conv top cylinders was leaking and the exhaust was shot. The locks and keys did not all match. Car was a full tag car, also had road wheels and a few other options like headlamp delay off (the headlights would stay on for about a minute after you turned the car off) and it was a dealer demo car as noted on the tag and sheet. It is also 1 of only 19 383-4 cars built.
Before I sold the car I replaced the dash pad with a mint one (the grief from that is what prompted me to sell it), cleaned the paint up as best I could, replaced the top cylinder and bled the system, removed the interior and completely sanded down the floor and patched the small holes in the driver's area with fiberglass resin, then sprayed the whole floor with primer and some of if with the factory color as well, then replaced the carpet with a new one from Trim Parts. I also cleaned the area on the underside where I had patched and resprayed it with undercoating. I gave the car a full tune-up. It was then sold to a member of the Dock.
He did the following:
New oem Winshield
Driver seat totally re-done from inside
All 4 power window motors removed, cleaned, lubed
Power trunk release fixed

The car looks a lot better than it did when it left me and it left me a lot better than it came to me, but he obviously did it a lot more justice. I still think Dave is mad at me for selling it. He also has no other full tag cars doc'd and only 2 known so far with 2 tags, so it's a good car to own.
