Crossfire! Nice, but I'm biased. If you need help with something on it or need to ask a question, PM me, I can help you.

Engine, tranny, and rear end have been upgraded. Interior and exterior is the only thing original. I have the original rims the guys gave them to me, but I like how the aftermarket rims look. I've deiced to keep the original interior and paint .

I've deiced to keep the original interior and paint . When you get close you see the paint is bod on the hood, and basically top of the car. Clear coat is gone. Interior just looks tired so I'm going to redo it original. Will take some time but mechanically she's strong. Just need to fix the AC here in Florida it's just to hot unless I have to T-tops off.

Thanks! Yeah I will. I see everything for the CE is more expensive.

Thanks! Interior looks tiered so I want to keep it original, but I'll need to replace all the plastic and have the seats redone as it all seen better days . Need to do some electrical stuff like replacing the antenna, side mirrors, electric locks. Need to do all of the weather stripping (I have it in my garage so not worried about leaks) but just thinking if I do it now or when I redo paint. Probably now since I'm not going to have it painted for a while. Also, the weather stripping and struts.

Are the T-tops bronze or black?
T-tops are bronze . Need to work on the interior . all looks old so needs to be redone. Usual seats, dash, console and so on. Some electrical as well.

The T-tops are bronze. Mostly interior work as it looks tired . Electrical items such side mirrors, looks, antenna. lights open but I have to pull the switch really slow. Paint looks okay from a distance but clear coat is gone on the hood, and front and back bumpers.
