First a brief history.....

About 5 years go, my cousin and I started on this....

later sold it for $4500.... and its still out running the car show scene today.

3 years ago I started the 4x4, that most of you all know..... recently I traded it for a 77 GMC 4door hualer with 19 foot bed and a 73 4x4 ford highboy.

Today made the deal on this. 1987 chevette, with hydralics, tented windows.... a pimp chian steering wheel, and a 5 speed BMW tranny somehow mated to the stock 1.6L Its got a little front end damage and the front cylinders leak off.. ( no biggie my Dani's dad works for Sun Source Hydralics)

Mepr... Speaking of which... Have you ever seen the articles (i believe it was hot rod magazine) on that?? A chevette with a 500 cube caddy engine... i think there was about a foot between the drivers kick panel and the exhaust manifold.....

It should be a easy fix.... Drive it till you find something else you want.

I drove a chevette to college. It was a good cheap little car. I could chang the timing belt on the side of the road in less that 1/2 hour.

Grandmaster of the "Shade Tree" way.. I can't see the yard for all the cars. Come on down and we will sit on the porch and watch the grass grow.
