Thanks for the support and kind words.

I am going to attack all of the simple aero mods first like hubcaps and rear wheel skirt and under belly panel, then I will do a Kammback and maybe even a boat tail.

Lots of inspiration from the ford probe Sven7. I have been reading the thread and taking notes!

Hubcaps are next, going to put them on this evening. It's kinda tricky because I have alloy Rims not steel that take hubcaps so I might have to go over kill with zipties to get them to stay on.
And I'm going to paint the roof white to see if I can lower the temp inside the car.

I went to the muffler shop this morning and got a new flex plate and a hanger so she doesn't sound like crap any more.

Very quiet... almost toooo quiet.

That's good. BTW maybe you could consider to get some light-color seat covers (or just to leave some random white fabric over the seats when they're not in use) to also decrease the heat trapping inside the car.

That's a good idea. Well I never got around to painting the roof white but I did make some hubcaps out of some signs and zipties, and my favorite black spraypaint!











Y'all get to see her here after a full detail, AKA a spray off with a hose.
