Just picked up an ‘89 convertible with a ZF six speed. A new toy to play with.

Already picked up some good pointers from this forum (got a pair of emergency hood release cables on the way). Looking forward to more.

Thanks for the welcome, Gents.

This car will never be a show car. Original engine has been replaced with an iron head truck engine with a carburetor. But, it runs good, was cheap, and, most important to me, it’s a convertible with a manual transmission.

Looking forward to the ride.
