Been looking locally for a bone stock Sterling or Black IS. My plans are to keep it clean and stock with a little touch and use it as a daily driver. A couple weeks ago I found this Sterling IS that was sitting outside of a shop.:yawn: It was sitting outside in the same spot for almost 3 years. It was abandoned by the PO due to a job that was never paid. It had a new rebuilt head and new cooling system 3 years ago. Its a 142k 2 owner Norcal car with a clean Carfax. The first owner had it till 07 and was traded in a local Chevy dealer :roll: back in 07. Amazingly the car is totally rust free with original dried oxidized paint and dried and cracked black interior. I tested the car and it started right away with no problems. It also failed smog due to an aftermarket cheap cat and exhaust. I drove the car back to SF and seems to be fine. Everything works including the AC ;). This will be a new project for me but this time I will take my time. I plan to have the car repainted to its original color in the future but for now I will make her road worthy. A lot of things got frozen since its been sitting outside for such a long time.








Current pics ;)




Installed my new interior tonight 3/16/10 . Its nice and soft ;) Keeping it simple .

Pls pardon the wirinkles. It need sun light for it to stretch.





Still waiting for the other 2 Alpina wheels then I'm done.
