(Oldest Pics Of Car)

You Can See In The Pic Above The Hood Is Painted Flat Black...

ABOVE,Took This Pic With A Really Crappy Diposable Camera...The Interior on This Car Is Mint, (Except For Carpet) Which Is Because Its Old Its Starting To Just Fall Apart....Otherwise Seats Have No Tears, Scuffs, Or Even Stains....The Rear Seat Looks Like It Has Never Been Sat In....New Carpet Will Be A Must Though

Picture Above Is my Old Man About 3 Years Ago..Probably Longer....
Title He Gave This Pic Is: Out Of My Mind
You Wouldnt Believe How Many Times I've Almost Lost This Car...
(He Doesnt Usually Ever Let Me Work On My Car At Home Because Its To Messy He Likes A Clean Garage....But Thanks For Letting Me Paint It DAD!!!
I Had This Car In Storage For Over A Year...At $150.00 A Month...Thank God I Can Keep A Job....

-Interior Is Stock But I'm Thinking Of Getting Carpet And Some Small Pieces Here And There. I Want It Completely Stock Looking Inside.
-I Also Want A New Vinyl Top Some Guy Quoted Me $400 Is That To Much....You Tell Me??
-Some (alot of cuss words) stole my head unit and tried to steal my rear speakers (Which My Dad and I Mounted From Underneath, So They Couldn't Be Stolen) They Tore Up The Whole Rear Deck So I'm Gonna Need To Get A (Black) Deck lid
-Also They Tore The Dash Pad Up So I need One Of Those (Black)
