HAHAHAHAHA!!!
A quick trip to the wreckers, the mirror, tail light and fog light are repaired.

Markham.
I'm hoping to fix it up, and turn it into my daily driver.
Maybe add a bit of performance along the way.
Definately add some ICE upgrades - nothing over the top, but at least better than stock.
My plan for that is A Sony head unit with 3 pre-amp outs and iPod connection.
A 4ch Amp, around 60w/ch a 2ch bridged to mono around 300-500w.
4 Rockford Fosgate P1683 Door Speakers
1 10" Rockford Fosgate P1S4 Sub.

It was "free" I didn't pay any cash to the previous owner, but I have done several other jobs for her.
It has around 140,000 kms on it.

As for mechanical, there's a power steering leak, the exhaust needs to be repaired, there are unknown clunks from the left front suspension and I think one of the front wheels is warped.

The body is in ok condition, the interior needs SERIOUS cleaning ... the previous owner has dogs, and she didn't make sure she cleaned the seats or carpets.

As a DIY fix-it project, it's perfect.
