Got done with a few hours of cleaning and polishing. Perfect cloud cover for photography so I decided to take some pictures. Pretty nice original paint from 82 a rare color but I think it is a pretty sexy blue. Car has only 47k on it. Enjoy!

Looks great! What wheels are those?

goosehunter87

Thanks! They are ion alloy. I painted the center caps black, they were originally chrome. I did this because the front dust cap on the bearings protruded beyond the dust caps on the rims. I simply cut a hole in the front dust caps on the rims to allow for the inner dust cap to poke through then painted them black all the way around.

Very nice early bird. Blue looks great. Only thing I would change on your car is the speaker grills on the dash...

Yes, the Rockford's I have in there were too deep so I had to lift them. Thus the stock covers wouldn't fit. The clearance issue was with the gauge cluster. I plan on a gauge swap probably within the summer and I will be able to sink the speakers back down and put the stock covers on. Also my dash was beginning to crack and those covers just barely covered the cracks. It is likely that, with the new gauges, the dash pad will be re-surfaced with fiberglass. Thanks for the constructive criticism though for sure. One other thing that is SURE to go are those seat covers. Currently their main purpose is to protect the seats. This leads directly to my plans to reupholster in blue leather. My father is a saddle maker and could do an EXCELLENT job with quality leather goods. Finally the car needs a paint job :/ of course these pictures don't demonstrate this need. In broad sunlight it is obvious that the PO painted both bumpers, the hood, a touch up on the unibody and didn't clearcoat! > Of course the paint is faded, matte and feels almost like paper. It's a shame that the stock paint on the doors and rest of the car is perfect but must be painted over. It would be a nightmare to paint half of the car and get it to match perfectly.

This car is in pretty good condition for at 82. I really like the color. Hopefully when you repaint it they'll be able to get it the same color.

Those wheels look pretty old school but they do fit the car really nicely. Theres nothing I would change about that car. Very nice.

Accidentally misspelling? I think not.

Is the steering wheel off center or are the wheels turned a quarter?

goosehunter87

Yes, wheels are turned a quarter, and thank you guys for the input!

A lot of sweat getting her to look that good.
