One of those days, huh? A wiser fella than myself once said, "sometimes you eat the bar, and sometimes the bar, well, he eats you."

Bought this beauty on 05.04.2003 when she was all messed up. The majority of exterior and interior is restored until now. Still have a lot of things to do in my mind but I will try to keep the stock apperience. This one is really hard to find in Turkey, where I live and I'm addicted to it.

13.10.2003 Rollin' down the highway.
10.10.2003 Peaceful dusk, enhanced with a sixpack and the radio.
06.08.2003 Needs an original Steering Wheel. Luckyly the original radio is still intact. Inst. cluster bezel is a replacement part. I'm still looking for an original GM bezel, if any of you have a spare '78 - '80 clean one for sale, let me know.
06.08.2003 The interior is completely restored. Used the be the same color as the body. Now it looks much better I guess. Faded and cracked windshield is now replaced with a brand new one with all other window glasses. Vents are unskillfully painted to metallic grey. Really destroying the interior look. I need them replaced right away.

I'm planning to get 33x12.50 tires with 15x9 american racing (outlaw) wheels, however I'm afraid that acceleration will extremely suffer. I guess a BanksPower Stinger system would be a fine modest add on. Hopefully I will get it this summer.

catch ya later on down the trail
