Updates:

EarlyMay2009: As has been noted Veronica has seen a lot of general maintenance, both on my part and on the part of a garage specializing in older model cars.  So far all is good with her now except for an issue with the brake pump, seems to run consistently at times, master cylinder has been replaced, but not sure if that is the solution yet.  Some audio work has been done and as well a boost controller added.  At this time she is now in another shop getting some more serious work done, will update as it comes.

2009April17: Well Veronica has been in and out of the garage, lots of work done (will note it all in a new page).  Also been in and out of the paint shop to repair the damage noted on the hood and driver's side front fender.  The audio in the car seems to be suffering, the reception is bad, the sound quality is bad (lots of crackling), so it is going into the audio shop on Monday for a new deck, new speakers all round and some replaced wires.  After it gets back from the audio shop I am going to put together a new page with all the work done noted.

2009March31:Car has been in my possession for about one week now and is currently in a local garage getting some work done on it.  Maybe some time to get it back as these parts are a bit hard to come by lol.  After this it is getting some paint work done to repair the paint damage it took...when a building fell on it haha.
