The Cabriolet
A few pics of my 88' Quad Cabriolet
Pretty much have completed the mini restoration of this my silver Quad. I bought it off Ebay year ago. With 63K documented miles, I bought it sight unseen in New Jersey and shipped it to Cleveland, Tennessee. Before the shipment, I paid to have it inspected and we were good to go. No body rust at all. WOW. The paint is a low end repaint, but it works for now.
All the mechanics were checked and good to go except the tach. Changed all fluids and complete check over. The work was done by Charlie Lupo at European Auto Service here in Cleveland. Front end checked out pretty wsell, replaced a tie rod end and alignment.
Wheels by Ronal R38...15 X 7 with painted r fed calipers. Very light and handles great.
The Cabriolet
Complete re-design of the tonnau cover...with the Cabriolet Design done in water repellent black canvas. I think it really changes the look of the car. The clover was embroidered.
Complete new interior...the red carpet was pretty well a goner. All new Grey carpet, new door panels in pleated Grey, new carpeted panel behind the seats and complete Grey carpet in the trunk. New custom black floor mats with embroidered clover and shift boot. Since I am a non smoker, I removed the ashtray and replaced it with a fitting to hold my 40GB MP3 player and then wired it to the Pioneer car stereo. So with over 5000 songs on the player, I won't hurt for any traveling tunes. I did not do the seats...leather was still good for a season or so.
It has been a lot of fun. Next, I need to detail the engine...
