I just dont know what to say... I PICKED THIS UP IN A TRASH PILE ON MY WAY HOME FROM WORK TODAY !!!!!! CAN YOU BELIEVE IT BECAUSE I SURELY CAN'T ......... I THOUGHT THIS WAS WORTH A SECOND POST FOR THE DAY!!! I HAVE NEVER BEEN SO EXCITED IN MY LIFE!! JUST SCROLL DOWN FOR THE LOWDOWN ON THE DETAILS....
Anyway, there she lay on her stomach piled in trash, someone had busted her back out but thats ok I got all her pieces. I have never put it in reverse so fast, popped the hatch, laid the seats down and slung it in like I was a Man Woman!!! I did not care if the leather on my seats ripped, it just did not matter at this point, she was going in!!!!! Sweating like a Goat I got her in and to a good home. The old cheese cloth was still attahced to the back. Can you feel how excited I am over this, Good Gracious I am a mess. The pics are not that great but I was just too excited I could harly hold the camera still to take the pictures. Off to try to calm down.... Have a good night!!!
