It looks killer Very nice buy...

I'd personally be deleting that tow bar asap unless you use it Other than that I dont know what options you want, proformance or external?

External - It looks good already
Engine - I wouldn't go too far out unless you wanted a quick car, depends on your money really.

Nice car. Leave it stock, except for some 'low' springs. EL Ghia rims are cool.

Tow bar gets used occasionally - just too slack to remove the tongue - but yes - looks better with it out.

Old guy that owned it before put heavy duty rear springs to tow his van with as well as the heavy duty tow pack and trans cooler........kinda handy to keep on so i can tow the boat.

Would love some nice rims (although i must admit to liking the Ghia rims) and to lower it but unfortunately the ex has taken me to the cleaners (as they do) so at the moment all money goes on living expenses........

Used to have an EB GLI which needed about $2,000 worth of work on it - didn't have 2 grand and it was easier to borrow the money for this one - plus it's on gas, costs me the same to run and pay off as the EB used to cost to run. And it's sooo much nicer to drive...........

Un faded head lights. Woooo hoooo.
Looks to be in great condition.
EL ghias are a great car. Should have bought one myself but oh well.
Does it have the grey interior?

Interior is the full leather in cappachino (i think that's what it's called). Sort of a light browny colour.....*lol*

All in pretty good nick too - seats hardly show any wear.
