Since they were never made in this country....it must be a motor swap.

Unless you were making it for your personal enjoyment....I wouldn't bother.

not much, but if you have the chance to pick one up for very, very cheap, why not? some kid will buy it im sure.

Turbo FCs need quite a bit of attention and knowledge to maintain...I'd rather see it go to someone who knows the 13b motor and lineage of the car.

And if it already needs some tlc...why bother.

FC convertibles are on the rare side, so if u wash it up nice, u might get a decent buck for it.
to the right person its worth a decent amount. so as long as it doesnt need anything MAJOR then i guess u could do it....whats wrong with it, if u dont mind me asking
