Honestly...

It has potential and is a good start but you need to work on the paint.

no it's not the same car. the other was an 86 gxl that i ruined on the touge. the paint is the next thing to come. if this car was at the junkyard it would so go home with me! funny to think the wheels look like volks...most people think they're SSR fins.
