You can PM now... Seems to be alot of blue interiors out there, and I confused this car with another one. The interior is really nice, actually, except for the driver's seat bottom.

4 days ago you could've had anything (including the full interior) out of mine if you came to pick it up.

We might as well start the naming process on this one...

Ol' Turbo II or Ol'er Turbo came to mind, but then I mispoke when saying it out loud, sounding something like Otie...

Otie 2...

I would love it if the wheels went on ebay and sold for $500 +, perhaps they are pentas in the wire wheel crowd or something.

I'm going to have plenty of work over the winter break. Time to invest in a good space heater for the garage.

Hmmm
"JD" [Junkyard Dog]

"W" [Wire wheels] **don't like this one really**

"Sally" [Salvaged from being dismantled] 2nd choice

"Q" [ResQued from the salvage yard, plus one of the greatest Next Gen characters ever!] 1st choice

Other than those feeble attempts nothing much comes to mind. Kind of non-descript otherwise.......

...and that would make me Jesus Christ??? Now that had me rolling.

http://christianity.about.com/od/biblestorysummaries/p/raisinglazarus.htm

Lazarus and his two sisters, Mary and Martha, were friends of Jesus. When Lazarus fell ill, his sisters sent a message to Jesus, "Lord, the one you love is sick." When Jesus heard the news, he waited two more days before going to Lazarus' hometown of Bethany. Jesus knew that he would do a great miracle for God's glory and, therefore, he was not in a hurry. When Jesus arrived in Bethany, Lazarus had already been dead and in the tomb for four days. When Martha discovered that Jesus was on his way, she went out to meet him. "Lord," she said, "if you had been here, my brother would not have died."
Jesus told Martha, "Your brother will rise again." But Martha thought he was talking about the final resurrection of the dead. Then Jesus said these important words: "I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in me will live, even though he dies; and whoever lives and believes in me will never die."
Martha then went and told Mary that Jesus wanted to see her. Jesus had not yet entered the village, most likely to avoid stirring up the crowd and calling attention to himself. The town of Bethany was not far from Jerusalem where the Jewish leaders were plotting against Jesus.

When Mary met Jesus she was grieving with strong emotion over her brother's death. The Jews with her were also weeping and mourning. Deeply moved by their grief, Jesus wept with them. Jesus then went to the tomb of Lazarus with Mary, Martha and the rest of the mourners. There he asked them to remove the stone that covered the hillside burial place. Jesus looked up to heaven and prayed to his Father, closing with these words: "Lazarus, come out!" When Lazarus came out of the tomb, Jesus told the people to remove his grave clothes.

As a result of this incredible miracle, many people put their faith in Jesus.

I forgot to mention that the brake issue was solved with a fluid top off. I will see the car up on a lift Friday to look for leaks.

Wow. Being from Alaska, it's amazing to see a rust-free car in the junkyard. The body and paint on that car is in much better shape than mine!

I'm also looking for a blue dash - my car was a California car and was exposed to a lot of sunlight in its time.

Can't wait to see what you end up doing with this car!
