Below are the pictures I was sent when we bought the car in February of 2005.  On an editorial note, I have a difficult time understanding how people in the car business cannot take better pictures than the ones below.  Perhaps that is un purpose?  In any case, I hesitate posting these pictures because the car looks so bad compared to how it looks today but in the interest of full disclosure I am posting them.  It should however illustrate how much time and money was put into restoring the car to its former glory.  In spite of the pictures below I was not deterred from buying the car as I knew the 1st owner who owned the car up until 2001 and knew how it was cared for.  I was right, it just needed some TLC to bring it back.

Note the cheap amp and high $ stereo enclosure all which have been removed.

This flaw in the paint was on the left front fender and all the way down to the metal.  It was another reason the front end needed to be resprayed.

I see the GTS for the first time upon delivery.
