    I bought this car at an auction in Oct and finally got it on the road. I've put about 500km on it so far and love driving it. I washed it today (-2C ) and took pics afterwards.

    The car is stock, for now. The previous owner put on a new exhaust from the cat back, but only put on a single exhaust, the brakes are about 75% and the interior is in great condition.

    The rockers are gone, but that I will take care of in the spring. I have a mig welder so I only need the rockers, some putty and paint. The rest of the car is in excellent condition with onlt 3 or 4 spots where the paint chipped off and needs a bit of wet sanding and repainting.

    I paid $505 at the auction and with an inspection and a couple of other things, I am into the car for $660 and that includes a front sway bar (used).

    Things I want to do...

    New dual exhaust
    New projector head lights
    Nicer wheels
    Maybe lower an inch or two
    Replace the window tint
    Paint the calipers
    Replace rear lights

    Doesn't look bad for over 140k. Especially in that climate.

    For sure, I'd tint the windows first.

    No idea if this is a Canadian thing, but I am happy it is not red as the rest of the dash is in red and something a little different is nice.

    By the way, I forgot to mention the mileage, it's 228,000Km or 141,000 miles.
