Some of you might remember my old ride:

Well, I sold it 2 weeks ago. I lost motivation in this project, I felt like I reached a dead end with it. The new owner seems cool, hopefully he'll have fun with it.
The next day I started hunting for a new ride. Since I moved to the city, I wanted something with a little more refinement, a sunroof and an automatic (never thought I'd say that of my life lol). I went looking at car with that thing on the hood

I ended up with this thing. 1992, 2.3 litres, broken odo at 242k kms (PO swears it broke during the test drive)...

It's fairly clean for a car of this vintage, it's got a sunroof and an automatic, and more refinement than the Jetta. So it checks all the boxes![alright](https://stanceworks.com/forums/core/images/smilies/alright.gif)
I didn't really have time to work on it other than giving a good clean to the interior. First mod was fixing those sagging seat nets:

The plan is to drop it, put wheels on it and make it reliable enough to cruise the US 66 next spring when I finish school. And replace that horrid steering wheel!
