izzo Posted June 1, 2012 Report Share Posted June 1, 2012 Jesus fuck what happened to the tires. Looks like a good start. I'd polish the paint, and rock it as is. Don't even change that passenger seat lol 1 Quote Link to comment
Tomakze Posted June 1, 2012 Report Share Posted June 1, 2012 Looks great! Super clean for being abandoned for what looks like quite a while. With a little spit and polish, should clean up nicely! Did I read correctly that the engine doesn't turn over? Is it seized? Quote Link to comment
