Finally after a long hunt, my pride and joy has come home.

some of you may remember from WAY back in 2003-2005. I sold my custom built chevette in 05 while in the middle of rebuilding it ( making it bigger)


I found it forsale a couple years ago, and found it again this week. So I I finally bought it back. It currently looks like this

[nickhuts]

this thing is sweet! how much did you have to buy it for?

[itbrokeagain]

What exactly do you do with that?

[donaldcon]

Had it in the garage changing out the front axle to a scout 44 and going 5.13 gears with dual lockers. Also trimmed the fenders while it was in there and install a fron valance panel ( it was missing when I got it back)




Took it out saturday and broke the front driveshaft. I built the driveshaft back in 05 so I'm not disapointed it broke.


Got a new one built and took it back our riding sunday


Flopped it over

Is this place a park or is it private land?
