Quick post of a couple pics/NEW PICS!!

Post by Backhoe »

I've been very short on time lately, trying to swap the best in from the 2nd LSS, but I wanted to get SOMETHING onto BC, since my days off may be a little busy, door swapping. These are a couple pics from before I had even bought the 2nd one, and there will be more of the process pics to come. Have a good one!

Gorgeous car...always loved those. Would love one for a daily driver so the Bonne could go Sunday Driver status. You even have a sunroof, rare.

Actually, I have 2 sunroofs, the 2nd LSS I bought is identical to the first, except for the SC. A few more miles, but amazing interior, and no dents! :banana:

This car was far from perfect when I first got it last September, stanky carpets, worn out seats, 2 big dents, 1 in the trunk, and 1 in the rear pass door. Lots of little things, moldy seatbelts, broken washer feature on the turn signal stalk, missing radio knob, and worst of all, no working cupholder.
After a number of months of daily checks on local classifieds, I lucked out with ANOTHER LSS in the same color, sans supercharger, but in incredible condition nonetheless.
It's been a couple furious weeks of swapping stuff when I was able to get the time, and yesterday I finally finished with all of the big things I wanted to snag.

I'm just going to slam a bunch of pics on, minus the commentary, so let me know what you think.

BEHOLD THE RUINS!

I have one, fair condition, slightly dented, NA version I can spare if you want it! You probably couldn't be any further away though. I guess you could say it's my first flip. (just gotta sell it now)

I really want one just like the LSS you have. Need to work more and start looking...would be a great 2nd car. I had a 95 Olds Eighty-Eight. Beautiful car...got hit though.

*edit: Could you take a pic or two of that beautiful LSS with the sunroof in vent mode like mine is in my siggy from the front? I think that would be so awesome :-)
