ill get some pics up today for sure, and yeah i say full resto, it has 180,xxx miles in it, it needs some work lol, the motor is getting rebuilt currently but the interior is trashed, and the paint is just old, not bad but lots of scratches, not a dent or ding on it though so i was happy for that

thank you, and my plans for the motor are kinda simple for now, due to lack of money..well i pulled the heads and found out it was bored .030 over so thats cool i had the machine shop clean it up, i reworked the heads, and i would love to build a turbo kit and redo the opti but im not sure yet, i love the looks of these cars and i have always wanted one even when i had LS cars, i need to get some pics up soon
