As its my first dub,i am VERY pleased with it.
I was sick of not having a cool ride without paying $20grand for something.
I knew/know NOTHING about these cars and just dived in head first and bought it.My V8 mates laughed at first,then individually said its cool!
Ive already attacked the interior with chequered lino on the floor and parcel shelf (sorry to the purists) with some
general clean up as i drive and enjoy it.Though it will get
some more major stuff done in the future
I love driving it (except for the brakes.Man were they interesting to use at first!) and its got a good home.Cheers

The "floors" - if they`re rusted out or the flaws.
