    the day i got it home... paid 600 bucks and i got it sitting on flipped leaf springs..not much interior...and just missing bits and peices...

    [​IMG]

    me and a mate decided to take the tub off and flip the leaf springs back over for a roady...

    [​IMG]

    after we flipped them... looked like a drag car..

    [​IMG]

    slapped on a bumper that i got with it.. not to sure on the year..
