    Welp, snagged this from one of my Detail customers. Picked it up for $1000...

    Only have one pic right now, but will update with more soon.



    GTP
    Black Leather
    Sunroof
    HUD
    Heated driver seat
    Decent tires
    176k miles

    Has only 2 issues right now that I'm fixing atm:
    Stupid previous owner put the wrong tranny in it... idiot
    And needs some body work.... 4 dents and very small amount of rust



    Buuuuuut I work at a car lot so I am going to pull it into the shop this weekend when the shop is closed and swap the tranny with the used one I ordered for $350....
    And as far as the body work, I have some pretty nifty little custom idea brewing up in my head... I only paid a grand for the car, so I'm going to experiment with some painting ideas... hahaha


    Let me know what you guys think, and I'll be posting more pics tomorrow at work.

    Well that's what we thought at first... when we got the old one out we realised something was just messed up internally from when he took it to a cheap tranny shop to have it rebuilt..
