It surely is a unexpected transformation and to think I was going to take $300 for it so I could stop the tow yard fees!

Yes, it will be put up for sale soon-ish and the proceeds will be split between Nate (my brother), Chad (friend/body guy) and me (well my daughter).  I am hoping the part my daughter gets will help cover most of a new top on her "new" blue 2007 Solara SLE.  The top alone comes in around 5k, installed.  Then she needs around another 5k for a suspension refresh.  Which we did both of these jobs in the Black Solara (top/suspension). 

She just got the timing belt/water pump, water hoses done on the blue Solara - which is rather important with this Toyota v6 engine, as it is a interference engine - which means if you let the timing belt break, you trash the engine.  So that is no bueno!
