well found this on craigslist and even though the pics looked like shit, i still decided to check it out.
owner was out of town, and hadnt shown it to anyone, so i begged for the address so i could look in person. he finally
agreed and i drove over.

first sight
Image

looked promising at initial drive up, minus surface rust due to previous owner putting a bra on it and leaving it on while it sat for the last 8 years.
Image
Image
Image

first walk around/exterior inspection
Image
Image
Image
Image
Image

well i had to try the door handle... score! it was open so
intial interior/pop top inspection
Image
Image
Image
Image
Image
westy...nice
Image

poptop exterior... no rips anywhere
Image

so after looking it over, i decided i had to have it and called the owner.
long story short he could meet me sunday (today) and we could talk about price....
