The underside is pretty good, but there is rust and possibly penetration in the rain gutters. The front bumper is gray and the rear is black, because that's what I had. Once I decide which I like better, I'll get two more rattle cans for 3rd and 4th coats.

I talked to the Previous Owner [hereafter PO] and he said he swapped in the five speed. He also got the Bilstein springs and shocks, and the wheels, from a Quantum wagon — if I got that right. He'd owned it since 2003. The first 60,000 miles maintenance [ending in 1986] was performed by Rolle Vollstedt, who was a local legend, back in the day.

Next step — windshield wiper blades and wheel alignment.
