I got a new gasket for the rear glass yesterday and will have it installed on Monday. The car will go in the shop on Tuesday and will be out on Friday. I opted for the Maaco el' cheapo painto . The tranny will be reworked the week after the paint job and I will then clean her up and park her in the garage with a fitted cover on her. I don't plan to drive her except on the weekends.

This is the SD that I paid $500 for. It has a really nice interior. It had new tires on it when I bought it and 127,000 miles on the odo, of course that's not accurate now. The odo broke on the way home with it. I put in a used speedometer last week so I am satisfied with that. THe tranny work is coming free of charge(parts and labor) so after the $500 paint job I should be good to go. No need to put a hunk of money into it since I will probably find another car to tinker with and end up selling this one. I love these cars!
