I'm lining up my 4th 87300TD!

lady in my neighborhood has chatted with me about her car several times, and last week she ran into the back of a suburban... she called me, I looked over the car, minor rad damage. she wants out.
a deal was struck, and now I have another.
white with blue tex interior, and blue dash cap.
8 hole wheels, new tires, and a pair of decent tires in the cargo area extra. so, 4 8 holes, 1 16 hole stock, 4 new tires, 1 decent tire on the spare, and 2 extra tires loose in the back.
the car is rust free, interior is about a 8.5/10 need drivers seat pad.
hood is wrinkled, rad support is pushed in, rad, condenser, and motor mount arm toast.
I'm stoked.

trade?

Sounds like you need a 603 radiator. I've got a radiator from the 91 350SD. Could trade you for some front CREAM SDL seat covers.

Your FOURTH!

Have you considered attending the 87300TD Obsession Support Group Meetings?

Seriously though, sounds like it must have been a light hit. Do you think it is bad enough for any alignment issues? If not, this story should have a really good ending.

Didn't you just go through a long ordeal to part ways with your aquired fleet?

heh, I'm the posterchild for those meetings...

no issues at all. the energy ALL went into the upper rad support. barely crinkled the hood. destroyed the grille, and mashed the coil and rad. My parts cars are gonna get stripped for sure!
