Why does it look turd brown not the Aubergine it is?

I'm just sayin...



I hope you enjoy that car.

It was overcast.

Are you the one that butchered the wiring in front?

Posted by: swood Mar 14 2008, 09:46 PM

OUCH!!


No, I didn't really do much but drive it a little. It was fairly hacked up by the PO. It was wired up with a hot start, big amp and kill switch under the seat when I got it. It stank bad too in the cabin. It came with a ton of parts, most useless and a deck of nudie playing cards.

But i love the color, and the fact it was as far as I can see originally eggplant.

The wiring needs some troubleshooting, so I was hoping you could add some insight

The 3 previous owners to me (in the last 6 months ), were not sure who messed with the wiring. THere are some really neat things that happen when you sequence certain parts of the electrical system

I was under the car the other night, and eggplant seems to be the original color (except for the replaced passenger door)

It's been through some hands that's for sure. Although it was pretty hacked up when I got it, everything seemed to work fairly well, electrically speaking. There was no brakes, but that didn't really stop me from cruising in it. You just have to get a little more creative when you want to stop or slow down.

I'm glad T H O M A S took it and gave it a life. It's a cool car and purple to the core. Not too many out there like that.


I hope it doesn't stink anymore.

of the engine. you tease us with nice exterior and interior shots. we're stirred by the pix of the 5 lug wheels and think "-6?".

I like the painted wheels. Nice look as opposed to the normel "polished" ones

Posted by: TROJANMAN Mar 15 2008, 08:01 AM

Thanks, but they really are for sale
The car is set to get some Fuchs: Black and Anodized (not polished)

Pic of the engine.........




http://z8.invisionfree.com/ClubNARP/index.php?showtopic=1918 that was done before I got the car. It still needs a little tweeking (mostly wiring stuff), and it has a doctor's appointment on Tuesday as it seems to be running short of breath right now. Lowlanders never do well at altitude

And since I have bought it, my man Slits was nice enough to install some Heat Exchangers on the car for me.

Hey Kev,
I sent the copper car to Cali for my dad

The HE's were in really bad shape and the black painted part is all new metal, so it had to be painted.

you're a very nice son. i should be so lucky. the gift road runs one way with my boys.
