I purchased his SHO off the classifieds here and have been a longtime viewer of the forums and classifeds. I use to be a member here back in 99 and 2000, but havn't really done much on here since otehr then regular visits. I am very happy with eh SHO, and even though it needs a few thigns such as plug wires. O2 sensors and struts, I got oone heck of a deal. I cleaned it up and here are the pictures!

Thank you! I got home safely, did all teh maintenance on it, buffed and waxed it, shampooed the interior and repaired the leather seats and softened them and conditioned them. I ordered 4 brand new struts and Eibach springs and new front strut mounts, and spark plugs/wires about 5 minutes ago.
After that I will put tie rod ends on it and get it aligned, then put 225/55/16 Falken tires on it.
I will be fixing the A/C here too, but that might be a month off..

Whoa De ja vu. LOL! Sold my red SHO about a month or so ago too. The guy that bought it took care of the things I didn't want to and is a happy new owner. Take care of them and they will take care of you.

Wow, that thing really did shine up nice!! Good to hear you're doing all of the up-keep that the car needed, and will actually be able to enjoy the car. I bought it on a whim, as my previous DD took a crap on me. Anyway, it was nice meeting you Dan, and your buddy Will. Glad you got the deal you were looking for, and that you made it home safe. Keep usupdated with the car(or atleast me!).  Mark
