Wow, now I know how it'll look. Have you put that one back together yet?
Do you still have it?
Do you have any parts?

My friend's parents had one of those when we were in HS. He drove the **** out of it. He either had his foot all the way into the accelerator pedal or the brake pedal. Good times.

Well, should I name the car? Everybody seems to name their car. I thought about naming her Natalee, in honor of Natalee Holloway missing in Aruba. Would that be in bad taste?

Thanks man! im still debating on the wheels, should I go classic with a 15 inch mesh desing or go "australian" with a 16 or 17 inch wheel

there was a possibility that I may put some FD OEM wheels on it but it might be hard since the FD wheels are 16x8
