Re: [DML] Older cars as daily transportation



You have yourself some nice cars there! I love the camaros too. ;-) I
used to have a red '89 5 speed T-top RS myself and I hated to part with it.
However, Korea called me for a year tour. Oh well! I remember reading
about the window bit a while back for the D. Is it compleeted? You didn't
have any good pics of the window there. When will it be done? I look
forward to seeing it.
