    I would not start throwing a lot of money at this car. Take your time, get the bumper back on, etc. You can end up getting buried in this car buying things it does not need.

    Congrats.

    I like the interior, it's the Deluxe Interior option, very nice! Looks like a decent car, clean it up, make it reliable, drive it and enjoy it, and don't dump loads of cash into it.

    Hey guys thanks for all the advice and great comments.

    I have been getting a lot of what you all are saying here where i live also with friends and other car buffs.
    I will not trick her out. for a yr or 2 she might look the same with the bumper back on. (thinking of shaving it down?) yes/no?
    I will tint the windows but later after i get the new radiator first.
    then work on the ball joints on the right front. its ok do drive but i fear those damn potholes.
    then the power steering but i keep hearing to go to manual?

    then finally i would get to play with the motor. I want to dive right in :taz:

    this place is my new hangout. http://mmb.maverick.to

    a wing on the back would be nice. a small one.

    I swear today i was driving to pick my daughter up from school.
    on the way too and from people would drool on the street next too me.
    I wish i had a nickle for every time I got a thumbs up.:thumbs2::thumbs2::thumbs2::thumbs2::thumbs2::thumbs2::thumbs2:
    but she prrrs so nice.
