      =) There's a problem with the axle, rumbles violently from 5-20mph. But a new axle shaft will take care of that. Only $50-100. Easy to swap. Interior is almost perfect. There are two trim pieces that are peeling off, but that'll be easy to fix. Emergency flasher switch doesn't stay pressed, but shouldn't be hard to fix either. All electronic seats/mirrors/sunroof/doors/interior-lights work perfectly. One problem that has me worried is the headlights. They only seem to come on 5% of the time. The fogs work though. That may or may not take some time to track down.

      Body has quite a few little dents, scratches, and some cracks on the roof. So I'll be sanding it all down soon and doing as much body work as I can myself before sending it off to get painted. Leaning towards a really dark gunmetal gray, or black. Shadowline, slight tint, and I'll be set. Seems to have a Flowmaster exhaust. The exhaust note was slightly too low pitched and rumbly to be stock, then I happened to open up my visor mirror and there was a Flowmaster sticker.

      Still driving my $100 '92 Corolla until I get the major headlight and axle problems fixed. I'll need to throw in a spare tire sometime soon as well.

      Thanks for the input!
