Looks like mine, got mine for $2000 and have put about $800 into it, which includes dual exhaust, new tranny fluid, new coolant (most recent, due to heater hose hole), seafoamed the engine, new driver door handle and new shocks all around. I've got a long list of stuff to do to it, like new lights, diff oil change, new wheels and tires to put on, and new belts.

So far mine runs smooth as butter, only has 85k miles and has a new a/c system (although with that belt missing it's moot). But enjoy that car, and if the exhaust is all stock duals, I recommend deleting the mufflers, it lets the lopo breathe much easier and sounds a lot better.
