Back on the road!

I wanted to thank you guys for all the knowledge I've gained here. I bought my L110 6 months ago. The motor was seized and there was some serious rust in the floor. After soaking the rusted pistons in Pepsi, rebuilding the floor, brakes, converting the electrical to 12v, and replacing lots of parts on a shoestring budget, I was able to get her going again. All with very limited mechanical experience. Anytime I had a question I came here and was able to look up the answer, or get it quickly by posting it. Your help has been invaluable!
I have a bit of interior work left on her, and then maybe, i'll see if I can talk my better, smarter half into letting me find an old KB. :lol:

I tried uploading a pic, but it would'nt work, so here is a link:

Very nicely done! I like the patina. Takes you right back to the fifties. And excellent job on the photography, too.

Very Nice! Like the grill guard up front and it looks like you have the standard style of rear bumper. You have done an amazing job.

It needs a Cummins 4bta. Just kidding, I like it a lot.
