First rolla, 84 ke70 highroof wagon. picked it up for $500 when i was 15 on the side of the road 5 houses from mine. was stock as rock and in pretty poo condition, faded blue and patches of primer, but did have a webber carby. Plans were to make it a nice cruiser without spending too much dosh.

 

since i have owned it i have taken off the rear bumper, got rid of rust and gave it a $100 paintjob, found some nice wheels CHEAP (wantanabes/superlites), front sway bar and 1.5' lowering blocks from pedders, cut commo springs on the front and thats it.

 

cheap, reliable, pimp cruiser/daily.

 

future plans are to get a 4age, 4k is just not doing it for me anymore... reset the leafs, wheel spacers and get a proper paint job.

 

some old and dirty piccys :)
