Default First Hello!

Picked up this 1 owner little guy a couple of months ago and am thoroughly enjoying taking him out and stretching his legs. I had to replace the fuel pump but other than that this beauty is nearly flawless! It's a thrill to drive this car around here with all the country roads, and beach and bay-front areas to soak up the sun. He definitely still turns heads anywhere he goes

Smile Thanks for the welcome !

I've already recieved some technical guidance from this site about how to re-set the windows. Have a heads-up about other common issues to look for. This car has 71K miles on it, only a couple of small dings in the paint and no rust even on the undercarriage! Because of it's age I know I'll be getting my fingernails dirty from time to time, but isn't that why we buy these cars? Once again I thank you for your welcome.
