That looks great!

Have you brought it to the track yet!

Looks like a 1/4 mile bruiser!  :burnout:

I remember seeing that pic when you got it,and the pic from today just proves my theory that if you want something bad enough it is obtainable if your willing to put the work in.Your car rocks and you should be smiling,Where are you from?I would love to go for a ride in that runner.Great job,Its guys like you that give hope to us all.----The Clown

as you can see in the interior pictures the car is pretty well bare bones.  The trim on the doors is painted, no chrome armrest bases, no rear arm rest, no map light and no floor light.  el cheapo
