That was the most intuitive automobile I've ever driven. I could basically do anything with it...place it anywhere. Outside of the engine internals, it was a very simple and straight forward automobile than any "shade tree" mechanic could work on. I had to replace the intake manifold gaskets, and that job was far easier than I thought it would be. I upgraded the suspension with H&R springs & sway bars, and Bilstein sport shocks, front strut camber plates, SS brake lines, and a bunch of minor little upgrades to make it a more solid automobile. Stock brakes with Hawk pads were awesome.

On the down side, it had less than 200 hp when new, so it wasn't going to win may "drag races"...lol The suspension was punishing on bad pavement, like concrete expansion joints on interstates. It needed a new paint job and some other body TLC (door dings, etc.), and I sold it instead of taking care of that myself (i.e. sending it to a body shop). Seeing what they're selling for today, that probably wasn't one of my best decisions...lol But if I had painted it, I wouldn't want to sell it.
