Thanks, y'all!
The car has just been sitting for almost a year. It took two hours of scrubbing and vacuuming to get it looking like that...hehehehe....didn't scrub the wheels though.
I spent $1,200 fake-federal paper notes on the car. The engine is not in running condition, however it was replaced last year with a JDM low-mile. I'm ripping the transmission back off, firstly, to find out why I don't have push-back on the clutch release fork. Then it's off to getting everything reassembled, and find out which parts (electrically) are dead from sitting underneath snow all year long (like the MAF). It should be interesting, to say the least.

Many years ago, I saw a Dodge Colt Gt around my area. I thought to myself "that car must be a blast to drive." I had a friend with a base Colt which had problems that couldn't be fixed.....hehheeh....it was most likely the ECU, ya know? Anyways, I got to drive the base Colt and decided to put it "on my list" of cars that I must own someday.
It was back on my birthday last October, I purchased a clean 92' Colt....and because it was having problems, I began searching widely across the internet until I fell upon this Board. Got that car running right ahead, thanks to those here who helped! Now, finding a real C53 wasn't something I imagined would ever happen......but when I saw the ad here for one locally, I knew the car would belong to me.
