My first Monte Carlo!
Hey guys - some of you might remember me from this thread. I decided to follow through with the purchase. Here's some pictures of the car.
Here's the drivers side of the car. You'll notice the somewhat large paint chip on the back just above the wheel well. It's not rusted through yet and I'm planning on fixing it up with some rust-morit. I'll then prime it and put some paint on it.
Mom insisted on taking pictures of me with the car, so...heck with it, I uploaded it too. She made me cover up the rust spot.
The back. I really like the look of the vertical spoiler and the mufflers on this model/make. There's some paint missing on the left side of the trunk, but nothing I can't touch up.
The hood. It's in pretty decent condition, but it has the usual wear-and-tear to it. I can't complain at all. If you look towards the lower left, something somehow pushed part of it back in - we're gonna try and pus hit back out ... could prove interesting.
Last picture. The interior isn't bad. The audio/cruise controls on the steering wheel are worn down, but the regular controls are still in good shape. The back seat doesn't even look like it was used hardly at all...
All in all, I'm really enjoying the car so far and hopefully it'll last me a couple years.

JOSH: Nice find. We all can't find that diamond in the rough...But you did. A little tlc and you have a car that will turn heads with the lady's

A little carpet shampoo and some interior spray and your good to go. GOOD LUCK Well that you already have. Very nice find Josh.................Hope to more of it & you on here.
