History
Bought her as a winter car to save my turbocharged Protege back in August 2013. (Sold the Protege in October 2014 lol)
After I got her home and replaced a bunch of parts for safety (went overboard, control arms, calipers ect lol), I realized she was in GREAT shape for being a Canadian car, let alone from Ontario.
Since then I've put some effort and money into her.
