Look carefully, there's a few subtle clues that might mean that the project is on hold....

Voted "Most Beautiful Parts Car" 2 years in a row (because you can't see the rusted out rear wheel wells & the rusted through gas tank), it's a 76,000 mile 85 GS with near-mint interior.

Mine... it looks a bit different now though since I've painted the bumpers all white and put my front spoiler back on.

FDracer: Thanks

Acuspeed: Canadian Tire - it's a one-size-fits-all cargo net for minivans

I mounted the two upper hangers into the screwholes for the trim around the rear quarter windows, and pinned down the middle of the net (notice it's folded double?) with the metal strip that goes across the carpet over the storage bins. Completely reversible without leaving a mark...

Cost of net kit: $14.99 (CDN)

Not getting hit with flying groceries while cornering: Priceless
