Congrats on the new ride! Back when I was 18, my 77 NYB gave up and I bought a 76 Cordoba off of my friend. It was also green but with a white leather interior. Loved that car and this one reminds me of it. I had the Chrysler dress wheels on it but I really like the later `Doba/Mirada wheels you have on it right now. I say stick with `em. My car also had similar rust issues but looks like you can catch yours before the shackles push through the trunk (like mine did). Have fun!
