Official M-Technic cabrio registry thread - mods sticky plz

770a is appearance package.

10-4


Badgtho (Ben) from CT
770A, 7/1991, AW2/Lotus. Factory 5 spd, last 7 of the VIN is EC05089
The car has factory extended leather on the map pockets only (pretty odd.)
Originally from Florida, the car made it to Mass in 2008 and then to CT when I purchased it. It was in the same family from 93-'11 when i found it. It was in need of much love by that point.

Tastefully modded at this point.
