    Believe it or not, it has 185,000 miles on it. Previous owner did a lot of work on it, including some paintwork. It looks like the paint was done right. I will be doing a complete detail including engine bay after the swap is done.

    I've always had a soft spot for those cars....especially when they are as pristine and well maintained as this one. Excellent work my friend.

    Thanks guys! The engine bay still needs some cleaning up. I will be working on cleaning up the wiring mess, but functionally it is fine.

    Here is a quick vid, before I detailed it ; )
