Next steps: This is a decent, very solid driver. The car looks good, is very sound mechanically and runs
great. The seat belts have been replaced with inertia real type which need new mounting to be effective
(must be vertical). Covering the cracked dash pads would be the first thing to do cosmetically. A new trunk
seal would also be in order along with treating the damaged RH trunk floor area. New door windlace and
some interior sprucing up. Should a repaint be desired, going back to the original grey paint would also
enhance the cars value as it is relatively rare. New rubber window seals would be installed at that time.
.
Closing comments: This is a decent driver quality car originally in a desirable and rare color. A great
foundation that can be improved while being enjoyed.
