Hahaha, at first I hated the color too but now, like you said, I'm getting used to that "ugly red"

tyvm

my plans for the next year:

1. paint job- stock toyota white, maybe with some pearl or metal?
2. 89+ plastic moldings - i hate the metal ones, rust ftmfl
3. rims - something cheap for now, mkiv tt's or some other 5/6 spokes
4. keep it clean and running good

last night i drove it for about ~70miles no problems what so ever. my speedo dont work so i investigated it some yesterday and it would appeare my lower cable it broke, so time to look for one, actually two, need one for the 88 also...
