Congratulations! If you extensively customize, resale value will be zilch,
unless of course you find someone who shares your view of what a Bricklin
should be like. There's no room under the hood for a battery. You can't add a
backseat without extensive frame rework. I doubt you can do much about the
body fading short of painting it. Check out the web site on this subject.

Subject: I got One !!!!!!
Finally! I got myself a Brick!!!
here's more info:
Vin 1758
saftey orange
all original, including hyd. doors
new hoses and brakes
27.5K miles
sold for $6950
the body panels look quite faded when I compare it to the photo of the one on
the BI web page....any type of info on what I can do to spiff them up would
be nice....I dont want to apply anything to the body till i know its safe =)
I hear that by the turn of the century the value of Bricks will double =)
will I depreciate the value of my Brick if I update the interior to look more
modern?
I will keep the original parts...
I wanted to get a custom dashboard with either Knight rider style electronics
or the digital dash from an 88 blazer and the a/c controller box from a
3000GT, complete with a 3000GT steering wheel and a new stereo =)
When I do the air door upgrade, would it be possible to mobve the battery and
other stuff from behind the seats and move them under the hood in the engine
compartment? If so, I could put in a new set of front seats and make a
custom rear seat so i can carpool people hom from church who need a ride =)
will they be protected in a collision? I'm not sure that the roll cage goes
beyond the doors...
thanks
Riley
