WTB cabrio

[Loccusst]

I am looking for a cheap, no rust, running Cabrio for the wife. I want something from like 92 or earlier mostly because of the price and let's just face it they are tres sexy! I don't care the condition of the top or the interior because that will all be replaced or fixed anyway. The key is no rust and runs...well no body damage. So I need everyones help to find a car that I can fix up for the wife. I want to have this projekt be all for her. Thanks guys.

Damn! you're a month late. There was a white Mk.I Cabrio up here. Dirty inside, but good outside. I think a highschooler bought it (I know because I tagged it :D hehe ) but I'll ask arround. Maybe the seller just stored it out of view.

[Loccusst]

Thanks dude.

[Sinan]

I'll let you know tommorrow or after tom. ;)

[Sinan]

Got some info for you. not as you wish I'm afraid.

the guy sold it to that high school kid (the one which I tagged). sorry, that's the only cabrio i Mk.I I've seen that was for sale here in Waterloo.

Cabrio! And a good reason to take a trip to vegas :P

a cabrio would be a nice addition to the club :tu:

[Loccusst]

Most of the ones I have seen are on the east coast....rather strange. I would like to keep it under $1000....top and interior do not have to be great. Just NO RUST!! Thanks for looking out for us....I really want to get one for Jen and Jasmine to have. Jasmine starts driving this winter.

that cause east coast pwns

[Loccusst]

If I see one in Minnesota Jake, you are going and looking at it for me!

[lreven]

I'll check with one of the crew at work. He has 2 Cabrios (One works, one doesn't) I've never seen them so I'll see what he's got.

He is in Mason City, so not too far!

[Sinan]

that site is nice. never seen it before

I got a triple white 88 Cabriolet I'll sell you. The top is bad, and the interior has definately seen better days. It runs pretty well, I drove it up from Des Moines last winter (to Clear Lake) and it's been sitting for the most part. I've had it out a couple times. It's an automatic (<--sorry). The exterior is pretty clean, it looks like it might have been resprayed. Has the clipper kit (missing part of the drivers side fender flare). Heater controls need some TLC unless you don't mind driving with heat in the summer...:)

Anyway, it was going to be a project for me, but I found a super clean 93 Collectors edition (Black with tan leather<---my favorite combo) for $2,700 about a month ago.

I've also got an '86 Cabriolet, but it's going to be project :twisted:

$800 takes it home!

[Sinan]

:TTIWWP:

Finally I get to use one of these. :D

[Loccusst]

How is the rust on it and where is it right now? Oh...the wife wants to know what color is it? At this point I do not think she cares too much about color or automatic. This is going to be our first family project car. A pic would be cool.

[Loccusst]

I am an idiot......you stated that it is a tripple white. Guess I should learn to read. lol
When would you be willing to let my wife take a look at it?

[Gee Tea Eye V]

triple white rocks

[cadwiz]

Jake saw one for sale neer my house a few months ago ask him where it was.:D

[Loccusst]

So where was it Jake? I would still like to see the one you have Hilsquad...

[Gee Tea Eye V]

[Loccusst]

May have to go for a drive.

[Loccusst]

Can't find it.

Hilsquad...where are you??

[turboA4]

[twooly]

Whoever finds it first gets the prize.... :D


Woo Hoo post 500

[Loccusst]

congrats on the 500 posts.

[twooly]

Sorry didn't mean to hijack. :rolleyes:

Hopefully you find it, I think that would be a sweet ride/project.

[Loccusst]

Unless I hear from Hilsquad we will probably get one from out of state....This means road trip for PKG!

[twooly]

Woo Hoo road trip :D

[Hilsquad]

Sorry man, I don't check this thing often.....I'll see if I can get some pics up later today....(I have to warn you, it hasn't been washed for a while)...As far as seeing it, I'll have to check my calendar, but we could work something out either some evening this week, or next weekend. It's only about 1:15 drive to my place from Waterloo/CF, 1:30 if you don't drive a dub:D

You can give me a call on my cell if you'd like

I don't care how dirty it is.....just in how the body is. We will have to see when we can gtg to look at it. Thanks for the response!

[Loccusst]

[Loccusst]

[Hilsquad]

The car looks awesome man. :tu: I can't wait to go pick it up on Friday.

Jen has to be way excited. :D

[Loccusst]

Like a little kid at Xmas.......I am going crazy trying to control her. lol

[Sinan]

looking good. thats the same Cabbie that the guy I was talking to was selling (or sold)...same everything I mean...

[Hilsquad]

Loccusst & DerSubtileVento....it was a pleasure to meet you and your wives last night.

I'm assuming you made it home ok in the new cabby:D

Very happy to have caught you before you got too far so we could get those lugs tightened down before it became a three-wheeler!

Anyway, both my wife and I enjoyed your company and hope to see you guys again at a GTG soon.

Call if you need anything.....

[DSV]

We made it home fine last night. It was about 11:30ish by the time we finally rolled into town. Jen was driving about 60-65 the whole way back and all the fluids, temps, etc. were doing well. We ended up heading out to Wal-Mart late last night to get cleaner, oil, brake fluid, etc. Mike (Loccusst) had to work this morning but it sounded like Jen would be scrubbing the car all day today, lol.

I'm sure they'll be on here to thank you personally when they can. ;)

I just saw Jen out driving around in the SUV. First thought was why isn't she driving her new car, and now that I see this I hope she was out buying more cleaning products :D

I think they still need to fix the leaking rear wheel cylinder too, so she probably doesn't want to drive the Cabrio any more than she has to right now. Mike was talking about bringing it over to my house tonight for supper though so hopefully all will be well.

[Loccusst]

The car made it back fine. Jen spent Saturday Simple Greening the trunk and under the back seats. The dry wall mud came off the rear panels and off of the rear seats pretty well. The rear area of the car looks reallllllll clean. We drove it over to Mike and Stephs Saturday night for the GTG and the car was great....little vibration but alls good. It runs like it has racing motor mounts in it right now so I imagine the motor mounts are done....lol. We drove it home late at night and some how got the defrost to work somewhat which was good because the wipers didn't work and the humidity was making the windows fog up....the new thing we found out that happens when you leave the top down late at night.

Aaron was a really cool guy as was his wife. We look forward to seeing you at some of the GTG's. Couldn't of asked for a better individual to buy from. He went way out of his way to make sure the girls made it home safe and in one piece. Thanks again. Jen is on here now as POS VDUB, so she can bug you now Aaron...lol. We are going to keep the car white since the paint inside is amazingly in great shape. We striped out all of the carpet and sound deadening material tonight. Jen is going to clean up the floor area and then we will spray some of that underliner stuff in the foot area to protect the floor pan. Then some new sound deadening material. Then comes the new carpet! I fixed the wheel cylinder earlier Saturday...was an idiot and didn't realize that the drum doesn't come off the same as a disc,lol. Anyway, Mike tested out the brakes tonight when the light turned yellow and they seem to be as good as new. The kids love the car as does the rest of the crew here. Thanks a bunch Aaron!

No that is not rust on the floor.....it's nearly 20 years of dirt and grime!

You guys are going to town on this thing! I think you ought to start an official build thread. :tu:

[Loccusst]

She signed up so that is her job, lol. She signed up last night when we got home but nothing ever came to her mail box to allow her to post.

Not sure why it didn't come through, did she put the right email address in? I went ahead and moved her over to a Registered User anyways. Let me know if there are any problems.

[Loccusst]

Cool...she is up and moving so I will make her post the build thread.....eventually.

[twooly]

Can't wait to see this in person, looks like a cool car. :drive:
