Plans for her have changed a few times already,but for now my(or should i say our,as my wife is running the rule on this one)

Plans are.

Total strip down.....beed blast all panels and chassis
Total repaint......colur to be revealed once its done(wifes orders)
Bench seat re-trim
Fuel tank moved to the bed.
Stay with the 15 inch smoothy wheels.
Stay with the ride height she is at now.
