New ride

Well, its not really new. It was my gray 150k 87.  I kept wondering how much it had left as it was a $200 car. Now I have had it 3 years and put about 30k on it and it just keeps going.  It passed its yearly inspection again so I figured it was time to get some paint on it. I got a new dr side door from daminc(thanks again) and went with a black metallic. I had a 83 that was the same colors when it was new but traded it for a Corvette so I sort of have one of my first cars again. Need to get a new outer handle and it will be good to go.
