turbo54's New Ride
Turbo54 - July 28th, 2006 at 10:29 AM

Hi All,
Well after the shit that happened with the last one I was buying as some of you might of read in a previous post, I have landed another car. I now can honestly say that 54's aren't rare, you just have to look for one if you really want one. They are out there folks.

This one has done the rounds here in adelaide and I would love to know more about it if anyone has any info... Dan?

I know it was owned by ben, shane, andrew but never finished. Anyone know why? It looks really solid but need a few areas repaired as I am a little fussy but as most of the panel work has been done its just a matter of scuffing it down and blowing new colour over it.

And SVW, the pan looks good. I struggled to see the number but I think they went something like this. When I get it home I will steel wool it so I can see. Apparently it was never split from the pan but Im not sure. It didn't look like it though.
