Get glass in it clean up the interior. Go to the H.A.M.B. and you will get a wealth of information AND encouragement There are young guys in LA to help you LEARN!

Yeah the rear tires are 7.50-16. I’m having trouble uploading pictures on this forum. It keeps saying “upload failed” but once I get it I’ll post pics of the brakes it has. My interior does have newer seats that look like they came out of a van and look completely out of place. I just need to find a local mechanic who can fix 4 banger engines.
