ETA: I think we should add a spot for future mods. I'm gonna include mine anyway: My short term plans are to coat the black in Al's Liner tan, remove the roofrack and coat the roof in sand colored liner to cover up the holes from the rack and spend a couple weekends with a dent puller to straighten out the body. I'll replace the drivers seat cushion, and a number of other small parts.
