The idea was to sell Casper, since I have my Jeep as my daily driver and winter support, and the bike would be my fun summer toy. I had it all lined up, a guy near St. Louis, MO was flying in to take Casper. At the same time, my dad found himself an 88 LX that’s in pretty decent shape, low miles, and what he wanted since selling his 89 LX, a manual transmission. He asked if I would be interested in having his 93 GL Sport edition, and jumped at the opportunity. It’s stock, it’s reliable, 37+ MPG, and for a price that I could beat.
So - Tom from St. Louis took Casper and I’ve got a stocker again. I’m thinking “Casper Jr.” in is order, since it’s nowhere near the potential as Casper. Plans will be pretty light. I want to keep the car fairly stock. Of course, I had to swap out the automatic belts from manual ones, added the tach cluster, and my JVC headunit… But, I’m still considered a few other ideas. Mainly, the Aspire brake swap (just for the extra braking features, built in rear sway bar, and functional e-brake), new wheel/tire combo, and possibly lowering it. Would an engine swap be out of the question? No… But I think it would be mild, like a simple B6 swap of sorts… But, that would be much further down the line.
Pictures to be posted shortly.
