New Girl from Portland, OR
Hey thanks for the warm welcomes, I'll try to get pics up soon, I'm out of town right now but I'll be back for the weekend. So sad, I actually don't have any pics of my baby right now. Anyway, I'll get them up soon.
Okay, I took some pictures yesterday but, I must confess, I know less about computers than I do about cars... how do I post the pics? I read the thread on posting via upload and it said to click on "Go Advanced" but when I did that, the option for "managing uploads" wasn't there. I haven't done anything in HTML since high school and even then I wasn't good at it...
Oh and just so everyone is clear, when I said "from Portland, OR" I meant that general area... Let me be a little more specific.
I grew up in Ridgefield (just north of Vancouver) about 5 years ago I took a job in the NY area and moved out there. I come back to the Portland area frequently and my car is still there. Anyway, now you know.

I do remember seeing somewhere that you had to get 10 posts before you could upload photos but I know I've also seen at least one person with a pic of their car up and they only had 1 post... maybe it was in their signature or something... Like I said, I know next to nothing about computers, or Forums for that matter.
Okay, I'll try and set up a photobucket account, honestly I think I already have one but know I've forgotten the user name and password associated with it. It feels like theres an account for everything these days, and unless I'm able to just stay logged in permanently... I forget I even have it.

I know its REALLY dirty, but thats how it goes. I've dealt with a lot of leaks and still have a few. Mostly stock engine. The carburetor and intake manifold aren't stock and the distributor was changed to points or from points (I know very little about cars) I had to change the master cylinder and discovered the one that came with my car is not the one that was supposed to.... My guess is that had something to do with the strikes that year.

you can see the paint peeling from the 16+ year old paint job

some A$$%#@LE recently ripped off my side mirror

My best guess is this spot was created by a fire long before I bought the car. I have recently had my own fires (while the hood was up luckily) which led me to replace the carburetor. (which had already been replaced before my ownership)

The largest of about 5 spots of rust cancer
tragic I know, just need the $$$$ to get it fixed. Donations anyone???
