Here are a few more pics of progress on the car. It still needs the wheel flares put on along with a new headliner and some othe interior work. I have put a put 1,000 miles on it working out the bugs but it's getting there.

I had that conversation with him at his house. I told him how rare the blue ones were and I wouldn't do that but ultimately, it's your car. I showed him my white one in a picture and he was really in love with the idea of it being a white car saying it's only paint.

Yup, to each their own I suppose. When asked for advice I give it but always remind them that they should do what they feel is right and prefer for their car.
