    Been meaning to start this thread for about a year now but only just figured out how to add/resize all my pics!
    Looks like shes Been off the road since 1990, then so I am told was sold to a farmer (who choped off her front arches to fix his camper) and dumped her in a barn, she was then sold on to the chap I bought her from, and stored in a container awaiting resto which never happened, until I found her that is.

    as I found her....
