    Pico's 88 Lx-I Daily Driver

    My 92 Acura Legend finally took a dump, after 3yrs of faithful service, the car finally started to show signs of a blown head gasket.
    I didnt have the $$ to repair the car, and I need another car to drive to work, a friend of mine said he would take the Acura off my hands. So to save my 89 from wear & tear I picked up this 88 LX-i for $500.00 from the original owner today. It has a broken timing belt, seats are a little faded but the body is straight, and only 98k on the odometer.
    So here she is for your approval............

    Thats the only thing I found wrong with the car so far. I have 2 sets in my storage so no problem there.

    thanks guys, this one is cleaner than my 89 when I first got it.
    The original owner also had the clutch done 8,000 miles ago, new shocks all around, speakers replaced and the A/C converted to 134.
    I'm keeping this one stock with the exception of adding my Alpine deck and a sub to it.

    Re: My 88 Lx-I Daily Driver

    I'd almost give you $1000 for itand fly out to drive it back. The thing that keeps me from doing that is that it's not an automatic, and my wife can't drive stick.

    I couldnt believe it either till I saw it in person.
    The owner also had a 87 that belonged to his mother in law that he gave to his nephew a few weeks back with only 54k on it
