Got the windows tinted today, fixed the passenger vent and I have new headlight doors on the way from autohauz. Also installed a nice ipod controller pioneer deck, i can't live without one now that i have it in the other cars. Next on the list is rear seat covers, new tires (doing michelin hydros) and I would like to find a decent first aid kit and box in the same color as my interior.

Next on the list is to

pretty nice shape, how many miles and owners?

original paint?

It appears so, it was garage kept for the first 23 years which definitely shows in the paint and interior.

Got the new tires and alignment this evening, Michelin hydroedge, I really like them so far.

That is a really nice looking 300D! Sharp! We still don't know what year it is.
Now you need to work on that signature........

I sold a car a little over 2 years, kept looking at ones in terrible condition and missing the ones in good condition. I really wanted something in good condition and didn't mind paying a few bucks. also was really only looking local as i didn't want to buy anything sight unseen.

Yea everything is pretty much original, to be honest nothing too exciting. I am fixing all the little stuff, headlight doors, having a couple door dings pulled out. I want to powder coat the wheels and keep her pretty much stock.
