    Just cant seem to part with it Yeh I am tossing up if I keep the back or go more of a modern slick look. If I change it I could then do a different color for the body.
    THe color I have no idea it was a respray that was done way back before I purchased it.
    The Resto will have to be done on the cheap to begin with have a young family(thats why I am up so early) and mortgage
    First thing will be to just get it roadworthy to go over the pits for registration.
    - Fix up rust - fix oil leak in trans - clean up engine bay (eek)

    Cheers H
