mixed martial artist are like pit bulls. were highly trained and bred to protect our family, our property, and ourselves. But when someone rattles the cage and gets bit they aim to put us down like their stupidity is our fault. I am a cage fighter, does that mean i want to hurt you outside the cage? No. will i stand there and let you beat me because im trained to fight inside the cage? No. If you pick a fight i will defend my self, regardless of my training or your lack of. if you get hurt i may feel bad but in the end the fault is yours. If your to stupid not to start something you cant finish the i suggest you stay on the porch.

one thing i would is get rid of that vinyl top and fix that rust before it becomes a bigger problem. as for the rest it looks to be in pretty good shape, now where are the pics of the underside and the engine.

lol the 2 door is the one i posted about in cars for sale..... it on the list i cant get ahold of the owner tho i keep trying. and for pics of the engine and undercarage will have to wait till it cames back from the shop.... and the vinyl is going to come off havent decided if it will go back but after i paint it i will make my decision on that.

Aside form the usual rust around the back window (which 90% of sedans do have) it looks to be a very nice car.The interior looks great too.

When it comes time to repaint just go to most any reputable paint dealer and they can computer match the color either off a sample if your just spot painting or off the factory paint code....Ive had pretty good luck with sherwin williams automotive paints. There is a paint code chart on the Eaglepedia if I remember correctly.
