I live in Edgewood just outside the Squirrell Hill tunnels.

Car is gunmetalgray metallic. Cheap enamel paint job, but looks way better than when I bought it in tan primer. Car looks black, dark blue, sometimes purple, depending on the light.

I love the GTA rims on my car. It handles much better and braking is vastly improved. I hit a little pulling into my driveway but not during driving, except on some huge Pittsburgh area potholes, but you already know about them. I currently have Yokohamas on it and they work great. I usually run BFGs on everything. Hotchkiss 1 inch lowering springs because you really can't go lower in Pittsburgh.

I plan on upgrading the brakes to all disk when I upgrade the suspension to all tubular and AirRide when I get some body work and new paint in a year or 2...hopefully.

Car has Super T-10 4 speed out of 78 TA. Was originally a 3-speed on the floor. Going to a 5 or 6 speed and 9 inch probably next Summer since I will probably need them both.
Suspension is poly, even the body bushings. Front sway bar is 1 1/4 from TA.

Can't wait to get it back on the road, even if it is winter.
