Need pics NOW!!!

Alright, here are some photos of the day I brought it home. I haven't taken many more since, but I planned to do that this weekend. It looks way cleaner now.

It was only a couple blocks away on residential streets, and the brakes were dragging really bad, so I steered and my dad pushed me in my Peugeot 505 diesel. That was actually a lot of fun. He gave me one huge shove to get me up the driveway, and after I turned in I realized that the service brake didn't work! I was lucky that the e-brake did though....

Here it is with the hard top on. I plan to not use the overriders. They're cool, but it looks better without them.

This is a custom made toneau (sp?) cover. They drilled the body for the snaps though

Again, I think the boot would look better without the overriders...

The engine is beneath a trap door in the boot. It's got luggage space in the front and back!

Some of the spare parts

Thanks for the interest...I'll try to get some more pics up in a bit!

Here is two weeks ago.

The engine reinstalled and almost ready to try:

I knew it would smoke like crazy if it started, due to the fact we used a ton of grease putting the motor together, and the muffler had 25 years worth of sitting around oil in it, but I was not prepared for what kind of smoke it put out. It was pointed at the garage, and it filled with smoke so bad you couldn't see 3 feet in front of you!
