Looks NICE man!!! :D The wheels are great. I definitely wouldnt think there are too many tbirds in Estonia. People must look everywhere you go. What's in the background in the shop picture? Is that your shop? Those look like old Buick wheels...I want to guess 1970-1973 Riviera?

It was for sale in one car sale place. I was looking american hobby car and when I saw it there , my first thougt was: I want it. I was looking it closer and thinking about the price which was in your money 3800 dollars. 2 weeks later I came and bought it. was 12 march 2007 and I had my first american V8 car.
For now car have dual 2.5" exhaust, heddman headers(which is going to be replaced with some normal headers) , flowmaster 40´s, MSD 8.8mm wires, MSD TFI coil, K&N air filter, BBK aluminium pulleys

Don't worry about that, it's no doubt better than many of our posters that use English every day...

You have a nice looking Bird, guessing you get a lot of comments...

BTW, welcome to the board...

Wow an LX with leather. That's pretty rare. My 88 LX has leather so your car is only the second LX with leather I've seen on the board.

That LX leather thing I didnt know. So that´s good if I have something pretty rare. Leather is old and shabby, I think next year should have new leather interior.
