> Well, folks - the next project was finally purchased last night. After
work, I rented a flat-bed and drove out to Stockton, Ca, which, if you
aren't familiar, is a bit of an armpit. It's about 2 hours from where I
live...here's what I got (the pictures aren't the greatest):

solid base - I'm planning a full restoration. Not necessarily to stock, but
near-show quality.

between the body kit (which he says is Kamei) and the JH/FN rebuild (which
only has 15k miles on 'em)). It's also got some sort of sport suspension -
it's quite stiff. It's base color appears to be Diamond Silver though it has
"S" trim buried underneath all that bondo. And the nearly zero evidence of
rust on the undercarriage.

the windshield is cracked and it has that ghetto aftermarket A/C
installed...

but in a sadistic-sorta way, that's what I want!  :D
