I know all about the mod bug. I have been tinkering with cars for over twenty years and I still have my pride and joy '74 Challenger which has gone through a few mods back in the day... It now mostly sits quietly in the garage only to be taken out when I feel the urge for that unrefined surge of horsepower. Still a great feeling when the six pak on top of the 360 small block opens up all three carburetors, but I have to admit the GS4 hit is much more relaxing.

I have also tinkered with 7M-GTE cars and still have a garage full of spare parts. BTW if anyone is interested in MKIII parts let me know. Now that I have a GS4, I no longer feel the need to build a GTE.

Here are pics of my newly acquired 98 GS4 and my well used 92 Cressida. The Cressida is orignal paint! A real survivor of 15 Canadian salt infested winters. As far as I can tell the GS is original except for the rear bumper.
