Both mine and the other depicted are US 'spec' (since I've never seen the cloth patten in any other 80) '97s. Elocked, no tint, no third row, no sliding glass, no electric seats, with cloth interiors.
If I'm not mistaken, there were some US spec 91-92s that came without flares. I definitely like the flareless look, but I also like them with flares and factory mud flaps. Since yours came with flares, I say keep 'em. Paint it white or you could really lose your mind and do something like this.....

Mr T,
There's no reason why starter swaps should require quadruple cv jointed extensions, one 2' long, and bloodying the knuckles on the full sized man hands I'd like to wring your neck with.
I'd add 'kiss my ass' but that'd require full use of both hands to expose, and I lack ability in one, thanks to the contortionistic manipulation required.

Little over two years, surpassing a major milestone, literally, today.
Mechanically, I've changed the starter and rear pads.
Maintenance has been limited to oil changes, routine 'adds' in between. (She seeps, weeps, and leaks, but doesn't burn)
I haven't touched coolant apart from the occasional top off, when she smells sweet and I think about it.
I think I checked knuckle level a month or so in, been DS clicking the last 25k.
I think I checked diffs and tranny, around the same time. Front's crunchy, in reverse, uphill.
Sprayed superlube on the compressor clutch to squeeze a few more weeks during the November summer.
DS window regulator is toast, PS power lock is froze, short in stereo, but a daily 'work truck' that I've yet to hesitate logging 700 mile days in, wouldn't for a second, crossing the country.
Driven like she's stolen, everyday, with no signs of stopping, rendering her replacement 'heart' nothing more than 'shop art', gathering dust at Robbie's place.
I don't know what one does to kill a 1FZ....
