Back from the body shop, not as clean as she should (or will) be yet. You may remember in a post a couple of months ago, I was trying to decide between a black SE and this widebody SE. I posted pics, it was unanimous I go for this one, rust problems and all. Rust fixed for a long while, I hope.
She's a keeper, thanks to all of you for helping me make the right decision!
$$- I paid $1200.00 she's got 136K, new shocks, injectors, brakes all around, and oil cooler. Gave my GSL and $1000.00 to the body guy to fix this one up.

EDIT- Damn forum won't let me post pics

Here's the rear, there's glare that looks like uneven surface. It's perfectly smooth.
Hope this uploads, wouldn't want to cause violent vomiting to sorrow from my UGLY car!!

OK I GIVE UP!! What's a guy got to do to get a pic on this freakin' thing!!

Ok sorrow, sorry for the nausea..I'm gonna send you another!

BTW, it's an 84 GSL-SE, all stock except for the body kit and an RB muffler.

Ok sorrow, I'm taking advantage of you again, I just sent pic of the rear.
The interior is (was) poo brown, but here's a plug for a fantasic product; SEM plastic and vinyl dye. That stuff is wonderful, I've already re-done the dash and door panels to a 'coffee mocha', looks great, dash and panels (and rear plastic parts) look absolutely brand new. I've already tried to clean & get the stuff off. It's pretty permanent. Doing the whole car for $21, 3 cans.
I highly recommend!

Thanks MIKE-P

Honestly, at first I considered going red or black (under extreme pressure from 15 year old son) but there's so MANY sporty cars around here red or black...somehow this is unique, I like the uniqueness more than the color. People stare as I drive by trying to figure out what it is, and THAT's COOL!

Oops, noted

I was referring to the interior, the 'poo' brown was actually a combination of green and gray, all faded and sun baked. I'm leaving the carpets and seats as is, they look good IMO with the new 'coffee mocha' SEM trim job.
