My 84 GN

http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3278/...317ba5.jpg?v=0

Well, I bought it 4 years ago and its been in the body shop the past 2 half years. But, they are finally moving on it so hopefully the paint will be done by the end of the month. Since it was in the shop so long I had to buy me an 87 to drive and now my wife wants me to keep them both So I guess to keep her happy I will . Maybe I'll let her use the 84 as a daily driver and I'll run with the big gun 87 lol.

Good luck with the car. I sold my 87 to keep and restore my 84. Just like the leather better. When I park with a group of GN's mine is the only on that is different.

Ok myabe another week.

They've got my hood and trunklid painted, next they are starting on the door jambs. After that it'll all be covered in black hopefully by next Wed. I'll post pics asap. Thanks for the response guys. I like the seats in the 84 also, did you guys see the seat covers for sale on ebay they looked pretty nice. Mine are already in good shape but I might get them recovered anyhow eventually. By the way can someone tell me how to post the actual picture on here instead of just the link. I tried using flickr to do it but maybe I'm not doing something right.

Well, they finally got my car painted yesterday. Gotta get the bumpers, rear spoiler, mirrors, and rear fillers painted now and then get it put back together.
