My new girlfriend!!

So.. finally after months of stripping, cleaning, swapping, wrenching, selling **** to buy parts, my car is DONE!!! Sure it may look like my older GsLsE but this one is sooo much cleaner (body wise). This car was a freakin bucket the first time i got my hands on it. It sat in my uncles garage for almost 5 years w/ no engine, tranny or rearend. He basically had it there as an extra storage bin that collected dust. It had ugly ugly beat up burgandy interior w/ brittle and torn leather seats and molded carpet. Wow!!~~ I spent more time on this car than my girlfriend but its cool. It looks sexy now. It runs and sounds smooth. I love it! Here are a few pics. I just felt like i should just show off a bit. EnjoY!!

Where do you get the glass sunroof from? I could use one for my RX-7 since the Metal one is rusted out.

Actually I take back the milage, the car had 110k original miles and was a series 4. The motor was a series 5 so this car's original motor must of gone bad and this one was swapped in so I don't know actual miles, probably less than 80k.
