    Been a long time since I have posted here, been browsing this past winter after coming back to the forums. In about 30 mins im leaving to get the car out of storage after basically 4 years and im itching with all these posts and topics to get working on it or just driving it. Its been a very time since I have driven it. Will try and post some pics when I get it out into the light of day again, I know how everyone including myself loves pics. :yahoo:

    Haven't seen any posts from Daydreamer (and yes Ron my number changed again) on here about the Ontario mini meet, just wondering if I have already missed it or its coming up soon.

    Wish me luck that 4 years of storage was gentle on the car!

    Bad Spots

    Paint really needs a good washing and of course it started to rain now so washing it is put on hold

    Few spots need some work and you can see the original color of the car, when it was painted it was just so I could get the body all one color and it was my daily driver at the time.

    Gauge Cluster with original miles, stickers were put on about 30 years ago for my Great Grandmother (original owner of the car) since the car was in miles and we now run on km/h

    Few spots around the trunk like this, I have to clean the trunk out to show the worst part that I need to get around to fixing. Trunk has the clutch pedal setup/bucket seat rails/early style gril/early blinkers with the amber lenses (wtb clear ones) and a set of sport mirrors

    Drip rails probably look worse then they are (I hope)
