Ok, so I like fun cars and this definitely fits the bill 8-) I picked this one up out of California. It’s powered by a water cooled 2.5 Subaru. Very well built :thumbs: If you don’t pay close attention, it looks real. Add to that, you don’t see too many fiberglass hard tops around. This car actually has an AC that works awesome :shock: Oh and power windows :hillbilly: I’m planning to change the look up a bit with wheels and suspension. I’ll probably do some other stuff to it also, stay tuned :beer:

Runs like a bat out of Hell :shock: :shock: :shock: 8-). Currently has Empi discs on all 4 corners. I don’t like the look of the Hubs with the new wheels I’m going to be running. I’m going to replace them with CB Discs, with open face lug nuts. Planning to run the cast wheel below with 185/65’s up front, and 195/65’s in the back. The car will be lowered a bit as well.
