Yep, I saw this one on ebay too. I knew it wasnt going to stay there long! Good to see a forum member bought it! Nice one Sarsha!

You got anything planned for it, or just keep it as is for now, or what?

Wow, nice pick up! Surely that isn't the ideal way to have your intake piping routed though is it?

Never heard of an LSD Small Salisbury either, that is rare!

You should be used to it in about a month... then burnout pics!

Sounds like a fun combo, though it's bloody tight in that engine bay. Least you got a chromed horn, makes it sound chromier : )

Not sure about the black stipe on the front guards but the black bonnet is good.

It looks nice like a sleeper, just needs a set of stockies on the back, or does that make it not sleepy any more?

Plans?
