My 1989 RT4WD aka "smokey"

well after lurking for a while after my brother originally picked the car up, it came into my possession, for just the cost of parts and labor to fix it. so far its taken:
-a new driver's side window (thanks to 3rd4ce)
-new alternator
-distributor 0-ring
-valve cover gasket
-a whole bottle of coolant
and one hell of a cleaning, after the bags, and bags of clothing and trash were taken out, i was left cleaning up broken window glass and the butts of probably 200 cigarettes and "other" smokeables.
so after a week or so of work once i had everything she was up and running, ready for the real test: the ~200 mile drive to school and with the previous over heating problems, i had a little concern, but it made it flawlessly.
while this is my daily and summer trip car, i really only plan on making it a comfortable ride, possibly new seats, plan on painting it white, and maybe upgrade the speakers and add a sub back into it. that, and a roof rack for hauling my bike and kayak
so here she is: 1989 rt, factory speaker pods, mud flaps, sun roof... all in its blue goodness
her good side
her... not so good side
earlier in the year it got hit in a parking garage, i've been considering picking up a new bumper or trying to fix this one, but its too damn cold
my great hood with its bare metal showing
the amp was in there when i got it, but since my brother's subs were stolen, he didnt want it anymore
and my sony dsx-100 head unit, just picked it up, and i love the hidden ipod compartment behind the faceplate

there should b a test to pass for searching before a new post can be started .... so we dont have so many useless LOCKED threads taking up space....
was nice to meet U also.. let me know when u want that left rear filler i have 2 laying around and U know the drive up was nothing ... ( oh did the pic of the wagons come-out mine was way to dark.. )
Added a ghetto cupholder today. Not bad for less than $10
was going to take a few more pictures, but i ended up getting asked to leave the car wash i was at after a little "trouble" with some people there
not the greatest fitment, but i dont know if its the trim piece or of everything is a little out of alignment due to it being hit
currently i'm looking to sell some of the parts from my other car and cam the wagon, or some suspension work, havent actually decided yet
