I bought it with the tranny completely drained of fluid. I had to replace the pan gasket and filter before i could even drive it. The car shifts perfectly fine but if it does give me any trouble.... justi will not rest until there is a 5-speed in this car. (he's just itching to do it, and i keep on telling him no, it's not broken.)

She's a blast so far. A little picky cuz she misses her old daddy (i'm not joking on this one), but she's definately a fun ride.

How's the body and seats and stuff?
The interior is even mintier than the exterior. I havent gotten any shots yet, but most of it looks brand spankin new.

Congrats, man! It's a good looking car!
Thanks man. Yeah, those are the new HID instrument cluster bulbs. they literally blind people trying to sleep in the backset when you take a turn. :lol



And now an update. I got a new book and installed some new speakers. The amps and deck are the same as my other cars...
