I think they stopped making them in 96, so 80s or 90s.

Re: Post your best budget mods! ($50 or less)

Great thread!

I used some extra pieces of oak laminate flooring and made new interior door panels. It took a little grinding on the backside to mesh well with the door/window handles and the arm rest, but it worked. I then had to buy chrome pinch molding (around $10) to go around the outside edge of the laminate so it blends with the door. It came out pretty sharp.... sorry I don't have pics right now.

Budget coolant recovery tank. Not sure of the total cost but I think the beer was the most expensive part and it went to other uses and therefore doesn't count.
