I have to agree with Repin
Those tails definitly have the lamination removed, the tails on my old 89 looked just like that.
Thats a nice Swedish Bonne though...

As far as I know, the car was imported by GM in Sweden back in 89. The guy who bought it wanted the SSE, and at that time they only sold SE´* in Sweden.

And the tail lights, I removed the plastic covers, looked alot better than the old sort of matte plastic.

And the front turnsignals and side turnsignals are tinted with black plastic tinting spray.
Looked alot better than the bright orange lights. Only tinted the front ones a little bit, could give them one more cote maybe.

And the paintjob is original, just vaxed, polished, and polished, and polished and polished

Thinking of respraying the car...

Nope, no interior pics... looks like any stock interior, very clean and not especially worn at all.

I´ll see what i can do about the pictures, had to park the car outside for a while, needed the garage space for a friends car that broke down...
