Incredible! That looks absolutely beautiful, and only 25,000 miles to boot. A great find, for sure.

I'm a huge fan of the stock look and feel of the car... it came with wheels that I already liked (and wider in the back, which makes the car handle completely differently), and already came with the stereo exactly how I would have designed it. i'm planning on leaving everything alone except the brakes...

Sounds good, the only things I would touch on a 7 that nice would be suspension, rims, brakes, and a new cd player.

actually the stereo has been replaced with a full kenwood system, but thankfully the headrest speakers still work well, and the subwoofer was put where the spare tire used to be -- so the trunk is empty.

That is a nice ride, the price is not bad either, you can buy a heap of junk and can't restore it like yours for that price! Congrats!
