Lucy The 4Age 55

[Chillin]

Thought id post my ke up for good measure. I bought it Saturday from a fellow rollaclub member for a steal at $250. I managed to drive it from Brisbane to the Goldie with no troubles at all witch i was stoked about :D

 

She cleaned up a treat and passed road worthy same day. Its running a stock standard 4k, 5 speed manual box and plush sheep skin seat covers ;). all runs well and will be done up slowly as the money dribbles in.

Best of all it does not leak a drop of oil :D

Ive got a spare 79 ke55 round the side of the house as a donar car, so spares will not be an issue.

*Update*

 

did a little work on the interior, cleaned it up and installed a couple of 6'9 in the back powerd by a fusion amp i had laying around. also was able to flip the load spring for a little low. I am defiantly going to look into some king's for the front but will wait and see how they turn out on my brothers 55 coupe.

 

pics: Sorry about the quality, was just after a quick fix.
