Selling my girl.

I'll try and get pictures up in the next few days.

Currently stored in my garage. She was a daily driver up until August/September of last year.

The good:
-Engine and drivetrain are all restored, adjusted and working like a charm. Started without a hitch in over a year of daily commuting/playing. no real leaks or anything.

-Seats are are all 100% restored with custom new vinyl as of a couple years ago. Done by a hot rod shop in Red Deer.

- ambulance doors are in pretty good shape, bit of surface rust, but overall they are pretty clean.

- Eagle alloys all around, are mint. The BFG's are not though. they are cracking after having sit at the previous owners house too long. They did last me fine the last year though.

- Comes with the side seats, as well as a suzuki sidekick rear front facing seat (which isnt currently installed)

- i have all the aluminum checkerplate rouch cut to cover up most of the tub (assuming your into that sort of thing)

The bad:

- i stopped driving it because the brakes failed. Looks like the master cylinder blew.. Not going to take much to get it working again, but i just don't have the time anymore.

- there is a reason i have all the checkerplate cut up. The tub is really really rusty / hole'ish. The previous owner put these big tires on, and then didnt put a lift on the vehicle, so the tires messed up the rear tub pretty bad. pock marks turned to rust, turned to holes. Like i said, there are checkerplate pieces to cover this stuff up, or you can cut the tub up... but the vehicle really should be lifted to keep this from happening again.

- the headliner is gone. The glue gave up the ghost, so i ripped it off. a bunch of old foam remains stuck to the top.


So to recap. Its ugly on the outside.. pretty sweet on the interior, and drives great. it doesnt stop anymore (nothing better than brakes failing on deerfoot!) so its a fixer-upper that needs to be towed (or worked on) in my garage.

I payed a lot more than what im asking. The repairs/upgrades supposedly cost the previous owner $6000.00+ (there was a list of things a page long down to the engine/drivetrain and interior) I need this thing out of my garage to make room for new toys. If i could get $1500.00 i would be happy.


Pictures coming soon. If you want to see it in person, let me know. cheers,
Colin
