Your car really reminds me of mine, as far as, one owner racking up the miles but caring for and maintaining it. Not many SSP's had that luxury!

Thanks,
The hood will have to be painted, and I think that the bumper covers will be too.
I was able to keep the original headlights, marker lights and taillights by carefully polishing and cleaning them.
Also, almost all of the interior was retained as well. I went ahead and rebuilt the console arm rest, ash tray door hinge, and replaced the drivers side arm rest pad. They were past showing wear and into full deterioration.
I really want to keep as much original feel as possible, but at the same time I want it to appear as "in service" as possible, even if that is a late (worn) in service appearance.
