    I am inspired by your determination and motivation, and the fact that you are doing everything yourself. It is truly encouraging to me, and I find myself making the effort to put some work into my car. I want to get it in top shape for the Cruisin' to Colby in Washington State in a couple of weeks. A sort of mini-meet for some of us here on the West Coast. So thanks for your good example of what can be accomplished with consistent determination, and hard work. The rewards truly are something to relish. I hope that you have good times and memories, in your "New" car.

    cleaned it up a bit and threw the beauty rings back on and repainted the hubcap letters and band.638 miles on the swap as of today ran the codes and had a o2 code and a VSS code changed the sensors so should be good to go now.
