      Thanks, It really needs a new driver door skin and front fender. And the grill is broken. It has a salvage title. A little buffing and some wax and it has shined up well though. The interior cleaned up real nice. This car has spent a lot of time on a dirt road, but most of the time it was garaged.
      Hope I can get it tagged Nov 1 and finally start driving it to see what needs fixin under the skin.
      More pics to come...

            Cleaning up nice. This picture is mostly dent free.
            I love driving this car.
            Fixed the noisy speedometer yesterday and adjusted the hatch to stop the rattle. Installed a used pair of 4" infinity speakers in the dash. Hoping the wife will buy me a stereo head unit for Christmas.
            Need to address the clunking right front under acceleration.

                    Very nice car, it's cleaning up nicely. Congrats

                      The clunking is likely a CV axle. If the boot isn't cracked, you can replace the joint, but a whole new axle is only ~$45, so it may be better to just replace it.

                        Thanks Basement Modder. The boot is definitely toast. Anything thing else I should replace while I am in there? bearings and such? The vehicle has fresh brake pads.
