Cabriolet of the Month ~ January
Name: Avalon
Car year: 1985
Model: Cabriolet
Car's nickname: Laffnstalk
Mileage: 360,000km
Engine: Stock 1.8L
Trans: Stock 020 (manual)
Wheels: Pirelli "P-
Sound system: Pioneer head unit, 4x6 in the front, 6x9 in the rear,
Orion Cobalt 12" subwoofer in custom enclosure.
What you would do to the car if money were no object:
Strip it down to the body, fix the rust, shave the engine bay.
Finish building my 2.0L 16v with ITB's and put it in the car.
Waterproof the whole interior and completely remove the roof and
make it a roadster. Turn the hatch into a tailgate.
As for the exterior, I'd probably get bored and change it every year.
But it would always be something crazy!
Favorite story/memory about/with the car: My favourite moments
are any time I see a little child pointing at my car, tugging on their
mom or dad's hand going "Whoaaaa! Look at that car!"
How long you've owned the car: 2 years
Additional info: This poor old girl was vandalized, and that's the whole reason I started to paint it. I didn't have the money to fix it professionally and so the rabbit on my hood was born! It just sort of went from there... In the Spring I think the car is going to go flat black, except for the hood of course! Add some pinstriping, make her a proper rat rod!
