Thanks! I deleted the AC immediately upon acquiring the car (I was young and wanted to save weight...I would leave it in now). I upgraded the 14" steelies with deluxe wheel covers to 15x7 Rallye IIs (though I'd like to have the steelies back to paint body color, with dog dish caps). I added factory gauges and tach, which I just read would have normally meant a wood grain dash panel (but I like the black better). I replaced the missing AM radio with an AM/FM unit (also XM capable). The original owner failed to buy power disc brakes so I upgraded the manual drums to power discs all around, along with the correct 12-bolt rear. Front and rear sway bars. Added Soft Ray glass all around. It's come a long way. Really nice to drive.
