wow! Is the paint really as nice as the pics make it look? The engine compartment also looks very clean. How is the interior? (any pics?) Except for the wheels looks "unmolested" as they say.

Those are just some aftermarket wheel that I can't decide weather to leave on the car or not if i sell it. If I were going to drive it I would definetely change the wheels. The guy actually gave me the set of original rally wheels with original rings and centers. I kind of don't want to give them away if I sell it. I also don't want to car to bring less $$ on ebay because of those turbo wheels......with locks that I dont have the key for.....

The paint is pretty nice but I have to agree when I saw those pictures I was pretty impressed with my photographic skills lol. The interior is ok it has the typical cracks in door panels and shabby carpet.

The funny story about this car is it took me 5 days to buy it. The owner said he would take 4,500.00 but he kept saying someone else is coming to look at it and wanted to give him a chance. After 2 trips to his hoouse I asked if it was the $500.00 that was holding the deal up because I would give him 5,000.00 He called me back in about 10 minutes letting me know I could come pick it up.
