wallaby Posted May 3, 2016 Share Posted May 3, 2016 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 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SuperBrat Posted May 4, 2016 Share Posted May 4, 2016 Looks like that Lewiston heat has turned it Pink......... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wallaby Posted May 4, 2016 Author Share Posted May 4, 2016 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wallaby Posted September 7, 2016 Author Share Posted September 7, 2016 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 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wallaby Posted September 23, 2016 Author Share Posted September 23, 2016 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......

ironworkerboomer Posted September 28, 2016 Share Posted September 28, 2016 I think that paint would buff out. I would do it by hand, people get carried away with buffers. I would hate to grind off the paint at the edges. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
