HRM, I think I'd give my car about a 55.

She desperatly needs new paint & Wheels & the engine is an LG4, but the interior is Sweet (IMHO).... plus it's got new tires, shocks and brakes all the way around and new steering components.

I love my car but she does need a lot of work still :|

my car

I give my car about an 85. She runs good, has a strong engine, good tranny, and hasn't let me down yet.

The body is near perfect, considering it has a Maaco job. But I like the way she looks.

The interior is damned near flawless. The front seats have some rubbing marks on the back from peoples knees and stuff rubbing there while in the back seat, but thats really the only flaw. The radio system is great for what it is.


The real pride and joy of my car is the drivetrain. Now that I'll have access to a lift for pretty much the whole year, I plan on repainting parts like the rear end, replacing the suspension cuz its a bit rough, and making my 1985 305 TPI have more power and look better.

So ya, I give my baby an 85

Kev

I know how that goes with the hood not shutting properly. The woman and ran over me did a number on my car. The shop did do a good job fixing it, but there's still a bit of alignment that could be done to make it a bit better. My hood has about a one inch gap between it and the nose and from the side you can see that it sits about a 1/4 inch too far forward. *shrug* that's life, but it's a b!itch when it happens.

exterior some dings, paint is kinda shiny has some chips, swrils, etc..
rims are dirt, i am working on that..
engine bay was kinda cleaned up, alittle better than that pic i have.
everything works on the car, like the power options, etc...

i would rate my car about 70 to 75... i think thats fair, also considering mine is a daily driver..
Whats wrong with the Rims? Just get some brake dust remover or something.

Id give mine a negative 50 just because its still an 84 no matter what I do to it, still has the L69 backed with a crappy 700R. If I had a 91 or 92 then it would be alot dfferent but untill then my car is just a car despite the comments I get from it.
