3500.. ouch...

there's an 'L' in the same colour on trader now for 2500..


i want one that needs painting and i dont care about the interior..
(unless its already done in cream leather :))
just that the body is solid.. and the engine is fine..


i want a slammed metallic red roadster.. cream leather interior, off white hood
sat on polished fuchs :)

yeah i used to have a '65 :)


i was planning to do a wizard with it originally but it was around the time wizard went bust. and before the moulds got kicked up by bugzone or whatever they're called.

so i was also gonna go cal look.. repaint in red (it was orange).. slam it on fuchs with a wooden roof rack n all that.. but i couldnt justify pumping so much money into it..

my dream car is a ghia convertible..  :'(
