Everything I’ve heard about like green mirror tint green interior and mirror tint make it sound like not my cup of tea. I don’t have a green interior. It’s gray leather right now, but once summer rolls around I think I’m going to get either cream colored leather or suede and a new rag top for it. But here’s a link to the album with some pics.

That’s why I take her out in nice weather, and pretty much only nice weather. ---

If mine comes out at all this year its going to be late March or April. Usually if it gets put away its after the first few snows because I always fuck up and dont put it away in time. The first winter I had it I drove it most of the winter because it wasnt snowing and I didnt really care about the salt because the car already had rust. Since it was fixed and panels were replaced I try not to drive it during the winter. Last winter it sat outside under a car cover without a motor. ---

[quote=“Norwood,post:47,topic:29012"”] Well its less than 5. But no just different choices of rims basicly. [/quote] Yeah, limited wheel selection and horrible brakes. I upgraded to '94 front spindles and brakes and it stops a hell of alot better. I just used Ranger axles and drums in the rear originally but got Moser axles after a bearing chewed up one of the Ranger axles. Actually I dont think that really happened and the garage I took the car to for some work totally fucked me. Wasnt the only thing they fucked me on. ---

Actually I dont think that really happened and the garage I took the car to for some work totally fucked me. Wasnt the only thing they fucked me on. What do you mean by shitty breaks? Like it doesn’t stop well?? The breaks were a little soft when I got it, but Dan fixed that for me when he replaced the gas can and fixed the leak. It stops fine though. ---
