Got a Rangie with EFI, ZF and a burnt interior. It's a POS and I haven't got any pics (busted camera). Needs dash, loom, heater core and various other crap. It's gonna be a fun crash course on Lucas!
Can I play with you guys now?

looks kinda like this one but not as mint. same arizona tan colour though.
it's a pretty severe burn. everything that was near heat was well and truly scorched. definitely needs a lot of work.
i'm going to sew some elbow patches onto my tweed jackets now.

so it begins...
took ownership of the vehicle today and have pretty much finished stripping out the interior. it looks fawked and it's gonna need a lot of work but my motto is "things can only get better!"
no camera so no pics :(
RANUKI might have a complete interior for me so that would save muchos troubles.
