Hello TheSamba, I am fairly new to this forum and have used it alot in the past for research. I am a daily driver and love my car to death, she is not perfect, but she is mine.


Enter Alice. Originally bought for $1,400 in a shady back alley deal. When I bought her she needed some attention and love. since then I have dropped a new engine and done alot of electrical/ audio.

I plan, very soon on doing a custom fiberglass dash, new seats, new carpet, dual carbs, headers, chrome rims, and new paint. Oh and I must not forget 3 15inch Kicker L7s Removal of the back seat (Custom inset displays for my amps).

Looks pretty good right now.

You might want to get bumpers, though. One tiny fender bender and it can really screw up a lot of stuff. The bumpers can save that stuff.

But, all in all, looks like Alice is a winner.
