68 Fatty ratty dirty bitch
DakDak67 - July 7th, 2014 at 08:43 PM

I couldn't help myself, this nasty fat girl had to be mine.
Nothing speedy or smooth about this girl with an old 1500 and auto stick, but hell she has some ratty love going on... nearly ready for a roady once I lift it a tad. Think I like these bug things.

I saw that on Evilbay, thought it looked interesting, and the seller was unusually realistic with his pricing. Nice pick up.
Good luck with it. Rob.

Good to see another 1500 getting some love.

Not meaning to get too technical,.. and correct me if I'm wrong,.. but,..
I was under the impression that the term 'fatty' was for strut front end bugs???

Congrats :tu::tu:

Nice work Chris. I too have found the type 1 love and I must say they are great fun although I still miss my bus.......sometimes.:)

Rego on the bitch, She's fat and nasty.. Still after a semi-auto gearbox if anyone has one, otherwise there will be one less Autostick on the road.
