could be, was steamed cleaned..thanks to Rug Doctor.

H&R sport springs

The only maintance, issues, were VC gaskets, rear calipers replaced,
of course new wires, cap and button. Oil is changed every 3 months.
Drivers window regulator replaced, passenger needs it now. (I have
NEW, drivers, and passenger regulators in my parts stash plan ahead)

The seats are OEM the Leather isn't!

The car came with OEM leather, but It was quiet worn and skanky!

The Previous owner, was a major heavy smoker. I've been trying to decrease the stench since I bought it. Just about there tho!

I purchased the leather Kit, from Leatherinteriors.com, and had it installed!
I had a hard time finding, a business that still had the Coupe patterns. TWO TONE was like, $30 extra.

The car is photogenic, It has patinia

It could use a repaint (which it's going to get eventually)

92Camry5sp · 05-31-2009, 05:58 AM

Two words, HELLA CLEAN!!

Venom_5 · 05-31-2009, 11:06 AM

Yes I guess it was an option in 96, maybe other years too, not sure tho!

I run across them at the pick and pull occasionally!
