Thanks for all the complements! I got one hellava deal on it. And the only major mechanical thing that is wrong with it was the driver side window motor. Meh not a big deal lol. Ive owned this since may. The t-tops dont leak, no fluid leaks.

The fuel pump recently started taking a crap so, I am going to store it for the winter and fix the fuel pump come spring. The only other annoyance the car has is this pinging of something tapping the driverside collector. It only happens when the car is in drive and accelerates. Other than that it is a pretty stout car.
