looks great man. Goodluck to you, I know from experience a previous owner is usually the root of all evil. Anything we can help you with we will.

its pretty much stock right now, besides the gears. i replaced the headliner also, half of it was missing when i got it, my wife and i replaced it ourselves, looks pretty good. i swear the previous owner didn't bolt down anything, lol! so i went through tightening any bolt i could find, like the spoiler. the hatch wont stay up, have to fix that. just a lot of odds and ends, i want to get a tune up, and i'm sure it hasn't had an oil change in years. starts right up, sounds so good, absolutely love it! i'm not driving yet until the rear is fixed, so its really killing me!

yeah their calling for 1-5 inches here tomorrow! well we went to jo anne fabrics and got the headliner there, and bought the extra heavy duty spray glue. i did mess up a bit, cut too much around the corner of the t-top, but other than that it looks brand new. a bit of a challenge, but it wasn't too bad, better than paying $160 for a professional to put it in.
