Pics taken before a 2 years of being stuck in the garage.
Plans for the future is get the speakers taken out the back and turn it back into a seat. Hopefully not too much work involved.
Getting it running again after being sat for 2 years
And maybe a hard top.
Oh and of course get out and enjoy it

Handle every stressful situation like a dog.
If you can't eat it or play with it, just pee on it and walk away.

B-E-A-UTIFUL!  :D

If I ever get the side rails sorted on my project, I'll be moulding the sidepods on. You're buggy must be the one Mel had recently done when I asked him about doing it. Looks awesome! Hope mine looks as good when it's done...
