Guest chopetech Posted May 23, 2014 Share Posted May 23, 2014 (edited) Reatta Enthusiast needing to make room for a family.I was gifted my 1990 silver Reatta coupe from my grandfather, and have put considerable time and energy into reconditioning it to its original glory. I love this car, and enjoy the time I have spent working on it. Unfortunately, with a toddler and another on the way, I’m realizing how impractical it is to keep a 2 seater in my garage. I wish I didn’t have to part with my Reatta, but I need to make room (both physically and financially) for a more practical family car. I hope that my Reatta will go to someone who enjoys this unique vehicle as much as I do. (Additional images below)In the year and a half since I’ve owned my Reatta, I have completed the following work. The engine and interior work was sourced out to trusted vendors, while the smaller fixes I took on myself.Full Engine tune up (all new belts, hoses, wear parts)Suspension tightened / tune upBrake system flushTransmission FlushAC Converted to R134 and leaky compressor replacedReplaced headlinerRe-stuffed both seats with new padding (kept original leather everywhere)Replaced front and rear paper cone speakers with fabric cone set (matched size and impedance) Replaced headlight lift arms & bushings (Thanks Barney Eaton!)New headlightsReplaced turn signal flasherReplaced horn cam in steering columnReplaced horn buttons in steering wheelReplaced oil level float sensorPolished rear tail light assemblyReplaced broken socket in tail light assemblyYear: 1990Coupe: _X_ Conv:____Mileage: 108483 Considered Correct?
