You should have a great time learning about the older tech... takes some artistry to keep them in top shape, but there's joy in a car where everything is accessible to you, and nothing is under computer control.

Congrauts! Like a lot of cars, you have two basic directions you can go and it's entirely up to you. Stock or Modify? These cars take well to both, depends on what you want out of ownership. Unfortuntely, a lot of OEM style decortive parts (interior pannels/trim and such) are no longer available and are not supported by aftermarket suppliers. A complete restoration to stock can be hampered by trying to find used, stock parts in better condition then what you currently have.

A lot of guys like to add intake / exhaust / suspension / body kit modifications which are out there aftermarket, to personalize their cars. Your interior looks fairly minty but the body has some battle scars. To me, that supports the stock approach since exterior wise, it's all body work and parts that are still available. How are the mechanicals and engine? If they already sport modifications maybe thats the direction you want to go. If not, maybe it's back to stock.

Again, its up to your taste and interest. I will tell you that I believe there are a lot more modified cars out there than stock survivors. They each have their own place.

Thanks Guys! Im in the process of finding wheels for it at the moment maybe some enkie 92s 15x7 offset 15? I have gsl-se suspension so it gave me more options for the 4x114 wheel set up. Tommorow ill be tinting the front windows just to protect the interior and im always fond of tinted vehicles!
