Alright everyone, I've waited long enough. I picked her up on Monday and have only had time to take a couple pictures.

It was a gorgeous day and I was across town, so I snapped a few. Just preliminaries, I need to detail the exterior a bit. I will get her all detailed up and will get some good pics in a couple weeks.

Here she is:

Looking good! Be sure to post up some pics when she's all clean. Also, will be interested to hear how your stereo progresses.

Thanks guys....

So I have this problem.... I'm having trouble keeping my foot out of it at times. Freeway on-ramps, stop lights, driving West up Burnside (Jeff knows what I'm talking about). Gas mileage appears to really be dropping.

So I was at a light and had it popped down in first. At about 2k even under normal acceleration, she just takes off. I slow down from 30 to the speed limit of 25, didn't even realize a police man was in the other lane back a couple cars. He pulls up beside me as we were driving and just kinda looks over at me, then drives off.
