It's a 2.5L. The interior is about a 7 the rear seat has a tare and the carpet is a bit stained. The cars been garaged for 23 years stock. They replaced the normal items like hose's and belt with factory items.

And yes the euro bumpers is a must. The diving boards are hideous.

I do have a problem with the top... It just so happened to rain the day after I bought the car and it's leaking from the driver side window seal. There is a 1/8 inch gap from the window and the seal. Any idea how I can fix this? Is this common?
