Nice - I sometimes wish I'd have gone for a '76/'77 coupe instead of liftback.

What's with the steering wheel, isn't that the older years model? I must admit, I'm not all that up on foreign models, and perhaps st/gt differences here in the states.

3SGTE and stuff

yes, half the fun will be restoring it to it's original glory. I'm not sure on my plans yet, but I want to try and stay original but, I also want it to reflect my personality into it as well. We shall see. But thank you. Your car will be one of my inspirations :D

thanks,
lets hope that the winter is over soon :cry2:
so we can drive our cars
they are not made to stand in the garage
the only thing good about the winter is that we have time to work on the car
