My 2001 Shortstar

Cool man, the interior looks good at least. And, it's better than a mint 2001 Taurus or something for the same price.

None of the exterior stuff looks too terrible. I'd fix the fender and the mirror and just try touch-up, etc for the rest. Bumpers get abused anyways (well, most peoples).

I also like that color. My dad has one:

LOL!!!!!

OH MY GOSH!! I photoshopped that pict as a joke on Edmund's Town Hall. I got a ricey new exhaust for the Nissan beater, and was joking about it. A ricey US made one was the cheapest option to replace my rusted-through OEM exhaust. I noted the Aurora felt jealous by the Nissan's bright yellow pimp-tip. I can't believe you dug it up with a Google search!

Anyway...

I wouldn't do the trunk swap. Too much cost. Also, the 3.5 trunk feels the most satisfying to close. The lighter 4.0 trunk feels very bouncy due to the lack of weight.

I still think it look better - the lines seem cleaner IMO
