Over time, I've made some subtle improvements, with plenty more in store for years to come. The most substantial, as you can tell by the pics, are the rims and tires! Thanks to tire rack's website, we were able to buy the rims and tires, mounted and balanced, and UPS shipped to our door for about $600. I know, they're worth more than the car, but if I ever sell it, I'll just put the stockers back on. These are low profile, white-lettered BF Goodrich TA Radials on Sport Edition five-spoke rims! I decided to take out the center caps, which were to "blingy" for my taste...

Here's a before and after

Also is the stereo, JVC head unit, built-in HD Radio, brand new tweeters, woofers, and a 222 watt Sony X-Plod amp with an 8" JBL Bazooka Sub!

We also installed an Oogah horn. When we bought the car, the horn they had installed was messed up and sounded like a disturbed animal, so we looked around for a replacement. Arguably, the new horn is more disturbing than the old one! Just look at the size of this thing!

"Thanks for stopping by Nick!" On the weatherstripping, most body shops have their own aftermarket suppliers, plus I went to JC WHitney, AllPar, and even the wrecking yards to get it done. My K-Car had sat out in the desert for 14 years when I bought it, so all the rubber was totally dry rotted! "Good Luck!!!" Chief

This is a really cool car man. This is kind of off topic, but I have a 1981 Dodge Aries K station wagon with the 2.6L. All original with 59k. Do you have any idea what it might go for if I sell it. I can't find any on eBay for a reference, but anyway, thanks for the help.
