    Car is pretty good, needs a front end repaint due to stone chips mainly but I'll repaint the whole car and redo the interior will I'm at it.

    Mechaically it is spot on and has only done 35k miles, I bought the car cheap as a project knowing the condition and that I would have to do these jobs.

    Yes there is, I've already done a engine out on my GTS a couple of years back although that didn't need as much cleaning as this one does :D

    Can't believe the car has been driven in snow. Makes me sad to see all that decay :(

    I cant imagine it would steer at all. I drive when the roads are clear but never onto a covered area because the rear pushes the car straight the steering is useless on ice(my driveway i never made it out).Theres salt here but it washes off right away.
