And after spending $30k at a quality restoshop, you'll have a car worth $20k.
Maybe.

C30 Polestar tuned seem to be rare beasts, ad hype talks about spec interior stuff - although I'm not a fan of the rad two tone seat treatment - and R body jangles. Plus short wheelbase+stiff springs=loose fillings.
Curious to see if it makes reserve.

I love it. Strange period-correct-looking (?) door guards... anyone know if this was a dealer option, or just a straight 3rd party auto parts store buy-it-and-apply-it-in-the-parking-lot thing? Looks like the application was not by a professional...
