I did alot of tire kicking, and I didn't want to settle unless it was exactly what I was looking for. The only thing I didn't get that I would have liked was a hood. I also was able to trust the seller 110%, actually a member from here. He PMed me and let me know it was for sale, and held it for 2 weeks until I could go take a look and didn't even list it anywhere. He kept records of every single thing that had been done to the car, had it tuned up and checked out for me and even replaced the water pump which may or may not have been on the way out AFTER I agreed to buy it. The man was a saint!

Congrats on the car. On your shots though when its head on center tires when its on its side show wheels by turning them in. I like the anthracite on black combo. How long are you going to keep the sleek beak look?

Not sure what sleek beak means. I'm guessing thats just straight black with no lettering details? If so, its only staying that way until I get some money =P

"sleak beak" means you have no Ws6 hood. The hood or "beak" of the car is smooth and "sleak".

Alex, I'm glad my old TA is working out for you - thank you for your nice comments on here. I'm not really checking this site much any more but I'm glad to see that the car is in good hands.

I never really got to enjoy the car as much as I would have liked. Hopefully you can live out that dream.

BTW, I'm now driving a 2008 Chevrolet Malibu. Nice, but no where near a TA.

Best wishes!

P.S. I have a set of 4 silver Firehawk (1999?) wheels in excellent condition. PM if anyone is interested.
