Well, I didn’t get a chance to talk to him, but here are some pics of the actual car. They’re from a cellphone and don’t do the car justice. It’s very clean, he’s meticulous with cleaning/maintenance. Hopefully I’ll run into him or his wife tomorrow to get a list of stuff done to it. ![http://lh6.ggpht.com/MoranS281/SGMeVun0FeI/AAAAAAAAAPY/lYMXG0pntaM/s800/IMG_0118.png](http://lh6.ggpht.com/MoranS281/SGMeVun0FeI/AAAAAAAAAPY/lYMXG0pntaM/s800/IMG_0118.png) ![http://lh5.ggpht.com/MoranS281/SGMeWGqd8NI/AAAAAAAAAPg/Vwwvlb0gRms/s800/IMG_0119.png](http://lh5.ggpht.com/MoranS281/SGMeWGqd8NI/AAAAAAAAAPg/Vwwvlb0gRms/s800/IMG_0119.png) ![http://lh4.ggpht.com/MoranS281/SGMeWb67Y5I/AAAAAAAAAPo/6ij8H7Lahl0/s800/IMG_0120.png](http://lh4.ggpht.com/MoranS281/SGMeWb67Y5I/AAAAAAAAAPo/6ij8H7Lahl0/s800/IMG_0120.png) ![http://lh4.ggpht.com/MoranS281/SGMeW2QJ3sI/AAAAAAAAAPw/3_ZASeLkD50/s800/IMG_0121.png](http://lh4.ggpht.com/MoranS281/SGMeW2QJ3sI/AAAAAAAAAPw/3_ZASeLkD50/s800/IMG_0121.png) ![http://lh4.ggpht.com/MoranS281/SGMf4GDI7AI/AAAAAAAAAP8/YSQL25Soths/s800/IMG_0125.png](http://lh4.ggpht.com/MoranS281/SGMf4GDI7AI/AAAAAAAAAP8/YSQL25Soths/s800/IMG_0125.png) ---

yeah, it’s not bad for a phone, but still not great either (blurry and grainy). Lighting wasn’t the best though like I said, those pics really don’t do the car justice. I forgot how clean it was. The interior is pretty much mint and couldn’t find any rust or corrosion what so ever on the car on a quick once around. If I had the money, I’d buy this up for myself ---

Would be a very cool candidate for a turbo swap I’m trying to convince a friend to buy it. He used to own one. He’s waiting out for more details on the drivetrain. They aren’t the greatest vehicles for swap since there isn’t much of a frame under them and the structural integrity of them goes to crap if you mod it too much. ---
