Try it like this:

But without the spaces. That should work for you. Nice looking car, BTW.

Looks clean, inside out. If i were you, i would have a look under the bins/rear seats for rust. Also the front mount of the rear suspension, and the inner, rear fenders. I have a set of those wheels also, with 25 year old winter tires! Are yours gold originally, or are they painted that way?

there is NO rust whatsoever underneath. it stays in the garage until mid may and sees no rain or snow. the paint is very much original, as is the paint on the wheels. the leather sports came with the leather interior on the GS platform with sunroof. the wheels were gold painted from the factory. the LS came in 3 colors: aurora white, brilliant black or solar gold, which you see here. only 2500 leather sports were made. i was told that the solar gold was limited to 500 units.
