Nice looking FST!
What mounting solution did you use to run the buckets?

Forgot about some painting that was needed. The firewall needed paint because leaking fluid from the clutch and brake master cylinders and a lot of the floor was pretty much bare metal. Here are some pics.

I'm getting old as I barely remember doing this, also cleaned up and painted the front section of the frame.

Honest rig and ad. Good price for what comes with it. GLWS.

 

[cruisermatt]

that's a great deal

I agree, great price on a nice rig. Looks like all OG patina for the most part and a good selection of OEM extras. GLWS!

This is the cleanest original paint survivor 40 I've seen in person. With a buff, I bet it would shine like new. Best of luck with the sale.
