Hey, guys. Just putting up some pics of my sl. no big story with it. It was my grandfathers and he gave it to me as my first car. (I drove it and my dad's v8 vn on my L's) It's been garaged it's entire life so the paint is still perfect. The only things that have been done to it is power steering, 2 1/4 cat back, pacemaker extractors, king springs, 18's, and a tacho Here it is: ^^i wish my bed was as comfy as this seat^^ ^Only rust spot i could find on the outside^ ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
