    I am missing a lot of items, I am going back through emails to see what I forgot. Basically, there are very few parts of this car that werent touched. Here are a few things it needs:

    Bottom portion of the steering cover. I have the part, but the little brass screw insets fell out
    Drivers seat rear seat back- I broke the fiber on it
    I jacked up the antenna. I replaced it, but its stuck.
    Glove box insert is non existent

    I hate to let her go, but I am getting the itch for a convertible, and I cant keep both. I have well over 55 invested, and I'm asking $38,500 for her. The car is garaged in San Antonio, TX. Please feel free to call or text 210-542-4123 with any questions, and I will answer what I can. I will get some pics up soon, I promise.

    So since I posted this, I got busy and havent shown the car. I just sent it to DMC Houston for a head gasket job, added a DPI performace CAM and replaced the AC blower motor. The Driver seatback does need to be replaced, the passenger kneebad just started to crack on the top as does the oil pressure sending unit. Its time for this to go, so I am reducing the price to $35k with all of the new work. The car is at DMC, so if you want anything looked at we can have that done while its there.

    Also, Josh at DPI was nice enough to fix the brass inserts on the steering wheel cover, so that will be put back.

    I should note that the estimate for the head gasket job is $3500, which I will be paying. This car is a good buy, especially considering how much I have in it. Make me a reasonable offer, I am a reasonable guy and need it to go. 210-542-4123 is my cell, call or text me.

    Hi Alex. I'm a bit interested in your D. Is it still for sale? In case, are you ok for selling it to an overseas buyer?
