Simple Build-PIKMEUP-G60

Hello All,

I am new to the forum.  Been a veteran on Vortex for a long time.  I figured Id come and introduce myself and hope some of you can guide me with my future endevours, seeing that you have better cars and a bigger parts availability than we do in US.

Here is my Caddy when i bought it with 350K worn out diesel miles





Shortly after getting Gena, I gave her the hitler mustache.







Since then, i have put a lot of work getting the car to its current state.  The motor is fully built internally and the transmission has been built as well with an LSD and swapped fourth and fifth grear.  To say at the least, the truck is VERY fun to drive.  All suspension and bushings have been redone.

This is where she stands now,













The interior was worn out so i swapped out the dash and the seats, and reupholstered the door cards.




Hope you enjoy

Most of it was done by me. Wire tuck and motor swap.  Friend did initially help me sort all the wiring. it was a nightmare. Old and Cracked.
