Nice, REAL nice! I love that shade of green. I'm assuming that's the original color?
She's my pride and joy (SRV)
Burke's Long Island post the other day where he cruised thru an outdoor car show rekindled my interest. (Thanks Burke) So I just spent the entire weekend cleaning, waxing, and detailing my severely neglected Malibu. I'm even going to enter it in two small car shows over the next two weekends. I haven't done that in years. Used to do it nearly every weekend, but it got boring after a while. Killed my battery listening to Stevie Ray for two days thru some giant pre-amp that my son installed in my trunk back when those things were popular. Maybe that's why I'm nearly stone deaf.

Thanks. Yes that is the original color. It actually still has the original interior. The cloth seats have faded to the point where it almost looks brown instead of green. The drivers seat finally let loose with fabric worn thin. The car has 128k miles on it. I bought it with 78k on it 16 years ago. I put a new engine in it at 100k. I have a complete set of new pre-sewn seat covers that I plan to have fitted to the seats here in September. I also plan to lay down new carpet since the seats will be at the trim shop for a while. I'm thinking about having it appraised first while it still has the original interior. I will show the appraiser the new interior kit and ask how that will impact the value once installed. Better or worse.... I'm curious.

I like it!
I cut the rear deck out of my car, built a deck out of MDF, enclosures for a pair of 10" subs, and left the pair of 6x9s free-air. Looks factory.

I used to have a '73 purple 100, wish I had it now! Traded that for a '75 MX 125, then bought a '76 YZ 175.
I'm sooo ready to drive the car, should be ready in a couple weeks. Will still have some detail work to do, but can drive it while I finish that stuff.
The SCR was kind of a gap-filler, it was so inexpensive I couldn't pass it up.
My engine is almost done for the T/A, that has taken a back seat since '99, long story. Built a 442 for my daughter was one project that derailed the T/A, but that too will be soon.
But it's about time I started doing bikes again, have been missing it badly.
