                  It's a bit rusty underneath, and has over 200k on the clock. The interior is black and in pretty good shape considering the mileage.

                    I wonder if that would make me "NA" by default. lol

                    Definitely looks good from the pic. I'll need paint if I want mine to be presentable

                      You'd be amazed what you can do with alittle time, a random orbital buffer, and some good buffing compounds. Most people never bother to put in the elbow grease but it's worth ever minute.

                        You're killing me! lol Mine had a few too many days in the Texas/Cali sun and decided to peel. I have plenty of dents to tackle as well. (Pic doesn't do it justice but this was the day I picked it up. Hood was already rattle-canned).

                          I say embrace the sun fade (with the right exterior changes - it can "work"). A full respray is $$$$ and only worth it if you're fully committed to the project.

                            I've got a set of sport springs in my garage if you're interested. PM me if you're interested.

                                  Ugh lucky you are! I just fired up the torpedo heater long enough to put my new tool chest together and now I'm back inside.
