This car has been a project of mine for over 2 years. It is not 100% done by any means, but it definitely has the parts there to make it an amazing car if someone has the time to put into it.

======================================
BAD
3 inch tear in convertible soft top, above where passenger head is
Dent in drivers side front quarter panel. Some asshole (me) pounded it out with the backside of a 3/4 ratchet. Looks better, but is still all denty there.
Drivers side rear panel has some clear flaking off. Was never really a big deal to me, as the trunk was the biggest problem and that got repainted.
Front seats are pearl beige, while rest of interior is natural tan. I was going to dye the front seats to match the rears, but I never got around to it. Honestly the colors are soo close I stopped noticing.
Front drivers seat needs upper part needs bolted down. Never got to it. The only way you can tell is if you lift up on it, it moves
Passenger side is missing some of the trim around the window. Quick fix at a junkyard
Fog lights need wired up. Wiring is all there, just needs spliced together
Stain on carpet where Stevofthahill left old brake rotors for 6 months. Some steam cleaning should bring it right out.
Passenger side door panel needs a screw and a couple clips to secure it to the door. Its on there, but kinda floppy in its current state.
Brake light is on, needs correct bulbs
Anti-Lock light is on because one of the sensors got cut. Junkyard fix.
Engine has a noise coming from the oil pan, sounds like a rattle. Could be bad, could be nothing.
I put on new I/O tie rods so it needs to be driven directly to an alignment shop, its very off.

$3500, Price is firm, local pickup only. Car would need an alignment if it were to be driven any long distance (New I/O tie rods were put on and car was never aligned). Basically, you are getting a hard top for $1k, wheels and tires and spacers for $1k, and a very decent car for $1500.
