Got the mirrors on today, and a missing piece of GFX on driver door, currently sanding and epoxy priming the rear spoiler, its been somewhat trashed and IMO is beyond fixing, but a new one would set me back close to $500, so its getting epoxy black and back on the car... I figure its better than no spoiler and holes in the trunklid.

Took the beast out for a nice spin around the local neighborhoods (illegally of course!), still runs awesome even after sitting for a year, good oil pressure and enough power to turn the tire over no problem (non-posi)... I sure do miss the IROC, that one had a TPI 305 and posi, ALOT of fun!! I kind of bought this one on the spur of the moment, but it has its good points too like really nice leather seats out of a newer model and four new tires. Everything works except the A/C and the power door locks, but there a manual over ride. 127K miles

Looking good. What was the original color? I saw the red car but you stated that wasn't yours.

Midnight blue 20 footer when I got it but straight. Looked like Maaco job most likely. Easy project, not much time, but its not perfection either just alot better than it was
