Chris scored big time on this one. Had to convince him to buy it, lol. The aftermarket parts are worth twice the purchase price alone.

another wide body ... i thought widebody's would get more rare over the time, on the contrary though, they seem to get more popular.

reason being my 84's body is in way better condition and aso has the bigger axels and improved suspension aswell as not being all stripped down.


a picture of the inside of the fron fender flare

my new repu i picked up last night from a buddy


i just have the torsen to remove,springs,shocks and the flares everything is goin on my 84 should look smart

can anyone give advise on cutting the rear flares out i had a look today and was thinking if i cut bout 1" above the flare cress i can use that for attaching any ideas??

I'm so jealous of your REPU I could puke.

I've always wanted one of those bad boys.

I dont' suppose there's any chance that you're parting with the center section of the RB exhaust, is there?
