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.

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.
