hi joy

i say modify  to your heart's content
its not like these cars arent already responsible for there own small
share of modifying the climate - which certainly effects the re-sale
value of the good old world - hopefully you will be the last owner of
"matilda" - hopefully she will retire form the road and become (yours
or borrowed) grandchildren's playhouse - nasty fluids drained and tires
turned into planters.

take care

monte
