History
This was my Dads daily work vehicle 30 years ago, when he retired in 1991 I purchased it of him for $350 for my girlfriend at the time "now my lovely wife"
It was rebuilt in 1992 from the ground up and an accident seen it rebuilt again in 2003 and painted its current colour, it was originally peanut colour,
it has had the original 1100cc 3K motor replaced with a 1.5litre motor with twin 40dcoe webers and a Toyota Soarer SC14 Supercharger as a blow through setup and lots of other motor modification work to assist with performance, it now lives in my garage and is taken for Sunday drives only these days, my Dads not with us now so this little ripper has a very close connection with him and will always remain in the family,
