Smile Back in the 1st gen. game! (pics)

Well, after over a year and a half since selling my beautiful Series 2 and during which I've owned a 20B Cosmo and a Series 4 TII it seems like I've come full circle. The whole 6 months I was driving the FC I was wishing I'd bought a nice 1st gen. instead. Seeing all the cool turbo projects on the forum didn't help either. So I sold it and bought this Series 2. It has a fresh extend port 12A, factory black interior, leather FC seats, aftermarket moonroof, lowered suspension, 16" Performance alloys and a bunch of other stuff.

As soon as I sort out the minor cosmetic stuff it needs done I'll be turboing it. I'll probably run a blow through with a side-draught Weber, T04, front mount etc. as well as a TII box and Hilux rear end. It's good to be back.

that does look good.. and the reason the back 'higher' is because it's stock. he needs one of these...

Sorry guys. I linked the pics from the previous owners site but it musn't be able to handle the traffic. There's a small dent on the front quarter that needs fixing as well as few other little things. Apparently a shelf fell on it when it was in the guys garage. The wheels are made by Performance.
