you got a helluva lot of work to get done on it by the looks of it. Heaps of rust. But keep pluggin away you'll get it. You got ideas for the final product as far as paint, wheels interior etc?
'The best engine in the world is a vagina. It can be started with only one finger. It is self-lubricating. It takes any size piston. And it changes it's own oil every four weeks. It is a pity that the management system is so f*$king temperamental.'
Yeah for paint i plan to use the same colour that is on the car. For rims, I am going something like 17" or 18". 7" wide of course. For the interior i just plan to use marine carpet on the doors. And the normal carpet on the floor and keep the seats orignal and not touch them.EKjimmy wrote:you got a helluva lot of work to get done on it by the looks of it. Heaps of rust.
