Oh thats really neat! Finding a proper new owner can be a tough thing to do but well worth while! She looks really happy! I need to sell my 88 RX7 soon and just cant sell it to some kid that will go out and kill himself in it, I need to find the right new owner... having it for 10 years Ill really hate to see it go but I found a great new owner for my Opel last year so it can be done. Just need to advertize it properly.
