yeah some old pictures would be awsum mate. and cheers for the post

[PMP020]

heres a little bit of background on your car Nat.

 

i bought it for the 1st time about 4 years ago.

looked like this.

i found it around the corner from my work down at christies beach.

picked it up for next to nothing.

 

it looked like this when i sold it, as i sold the wheels seperatly.

the new owner had it for a few months then the engine blew up.

 

it sat at a shed over in lonsdale next to UPI for almost 1 year, the guy wouldnt sell it.

eventually Ben from the wrecker next door snapped it up and chucked a sweet 4k in it.

 

i grabbed it off him half finished, towed back to my workshop.

needed alot of love, so i got stuck into it and got it back to normal.

 

then sold it to henry a few weeks later, like this.

 

and there we have it, over the past 4 years this car has actaully had 6 owners.

and is still looking scmick.

 

keep it clean Nat.

cheers, scott

Wow, liked it alotin the pic when you sold it to Henry without the wheeltrims, have been running mine for a week without the trims, gives it a different look, sort of rat roddish, that and I got sick of taking the trims off and putting them back on continuously.

 

Can't wait to see some pics after the respray Nat.

 

Cheers, Ben.

 

PS. You weren't in Gawler up to a week ago, could've been a few days, my cousin was cruisin through there in his Calais and had to tell me last night about a minta yellow KE20 he saw, slammed, whitewalls, sinvisor, venetians etc. Was parked at a servo he said.

[73KE20]

[benzo]

Ah ok, but you know the car yeah? PM me the plates if you know the car, cos I thought it may be another too when my cousin told me it was definitely yellow, not mustard.

 

Cheers, Ben.
