Here is a shot of the exterior...BTW, my name is not Bill (Lower front section of door.) I laughed at how he took the time to paint his name with colors to match the car itself. Had to leave it be, lol. He was the previous owner. By my understanding he was an old fella that took really good care of the car. My mechanic was amazed by the condition of the undercarriage. Suspension, drivetrain and all (considering she has 200K KM on her). And the engine compartment....Have to do something about that rusty oil filler cap! And last but not least, the only MOD thus far (besides K&N air filter), a tri-meter that fit the ashtray slot perfectly! I was stoked when it just slid into place and looked stock. Especially because there was no way I was about to drill holes in the dash. Future plans: Alloys! Not digging the cheesy $20 hubcaps I wasted my time buying on ebay. I'd be much better off with painted steelies! lol. 2" exhaust system. Looking for breathability and improved gas mileage. Getting 35, or so, MPG. Not bad but could be better. I'd also like to get a little more ground clearance because I do drive it off road on some pretty gnarly mountain logging roads. Some possible stereo equipment (Not planning on a thumping system but I'd like enough sound to drown out road noise) Anyone know of good quality upgrades for the mounting spot of the factory front speakers?

JJ,
That's some good stuff! Got the clock too! Did you have a chance to hook up those snazzy guages just yet? BTW, Why do folks get nervous about their license plates being shown online?
Have Fun,

Have Fun, I don't know how it is in USA or so, but here in sweden it's quite easy to get info on where the owner lives which leads to being easier to steal that way.

Guages not hooked up quite yet, haven't had the time. Hope to get it all done this weekend. I'm debating whether to use the new temp guage or not. As far as temp goes, I think I might stick with the dash guage seeing as it works fine and is in a much more convenient location. In that case I'd try and find one of those inserts you see on sinks when it has the option for a spray wand that is not in use, and move the amperage guage to one side and plug the center hole on the bracket. Any idea what I mean by that? lol.
Yeah, good question about the plate. I'm not the nervous type, especially where I live. I can't remember the last time I locked my house or even removed the key from the Justy's ignition switch....Oh wait...good thing I blocked out the plate. ;D
Was the clock an option that isn't seen too often? I'm glad someone opted for it! I don't wear a watch.
