I tried everything i could to resist this one...

but i have it anyway.....

most expensive one i have bought, but the nicest

came with a pile of extra parts so i can't complain

this is how it came home

I am in the process of getting tires changed onto different rims and the canopy is off

then to drive it :)

 

seems to drive really nice, been sitting for a while

filled it up with premium to see if it would clear out a bit

has a new looking weber on it that runs OK but needs some tuning

looking forward to just enjoying it for a while

Looks like that Lewiston heat has turned it Pink.........

.....

i guess it was painted a few years ago, but the paint was "bad"?? so it has faded really badly

it used to be a maroon colour.

i will try to polish it and see if i can make it less pink......

getting tyres on wheels today and will see if i can mount the pushbar

this car makes commuting fun!!

and my wife said she would drive it :)....i count this as a small victory

figure i am saving about $1.20 per day instead of driving a full size diesel pickup

stereo is replaced

push bar that came with it would not fit - so its on the blue one...

thinking i will get a/c hooked up before next summer...109 deg is pretty hot......

going to have it professionally polished - the guy thinks he can get it pretty good for it being metallic paint

next hairbrained idea i have for this vehicle...

i really want a tonneau cover, soft vinyl, so i can use the bed easily if i need to

 

so i bought a used truxedo style cover off an f150 i think

will get some pics of the modifications needed to make it fit,

"should" work......stay tuned......
