He said he ony wanted $200 for the car and my dad drove it home.
I first worked at getting the pinstripes, cougar stickers and blue spraypaint (13 written on the drivers door and flames on the other side along the lenngth of the car.)
For a while after that there wasn't much I could do. I kept looking for parts as both front guards and the tailgate were dented beyond repair. I checked all the local wreckers and no luck.
I put an add in the paper looking for parts and got a reply. The man said the car was in good condition...he lied
We took the guards and the tailgate from the white mightyboy to the panelbeaters, hoping that they might be able to fix them. The man said that the guards weren't repairable and that he could try his best with the guards. We decided to leave it.
The next day my dad was browsing through the Quokka when he came across an a man advertising 4 mightyboys for sale. We called up and he said to come and have a look at them the next day. Unfortunately I had work, so my parents went to look at the cars he had for sale. The red mighty boy he had was the one we bought and he delivered it to my house that same day.
That first day I took off the guards and the tailgate. The parts I need on the red car are considerably better than the ones on the white. I plan on taking the panels in to see if they can be worked on a little bit as they are better but still not perfect.
There was no engine in the red car, instead it was in the tray.
The motor in the white car is a 550cc while the enjine in the red is a 800cc. My dad is a mechanic so as a present he is fixing up the 800cc engine and switching it with the engine in the white car.
I plan on getting a new tonneao cover made and once everything is done, resprayed white with pink racing stripes. The red car came with mags so I'm switching them to the white one too. I need the seats retrimmed or at least covered as they are split and the doors and roof retrimmed.
I'll keep updating as go (:
