Peaches '86 Cabby
Peaches...

On the The152 forums, one of our members was offering a cabby shell for sale for $200, and even though it was in pretty neglected shape, the fact that it had part of the body work I desired done, she became mine.

So I made yet another road trip to Seattle, and after a bit of manuevering, got her loaded on the trailer to bring her home to Montana.

Here are some pics from the adventure. (click to enlarge images)
Updates...

Peaches got a complete sweep/scrape out, of all the leaves and moss, and other things that were growing inside her, due to being left out in the elements for so long. (click to enlarge images)


And while it's not yet completed, I have begun the task of putting the old motor from one of my parts cabbies into her. There's still much to do on that front.
Hopes and Hopes...

  Since Peaches was essentially just a shell when I got her, with no interior at all, no windshield, no drivetrain, etc., I pretty much have everything to do on her, both mechanically, and cosmetically.

Performance...
    • Complete motor swap
    • Get her running to optimal performance
    • New tires
Tunes...
    • New speakers for door panels
    • Install speakers in headrests
    • Head unit, amp and subwoofer
Cosmetic...
    • Complete body work and paint job.
    • Shave 3rd brake light
    • New top and headliner
    • Complete custom interior including carpet
    • Chrome side trim
    • Custom gauge faces
    • Add various chrome blingy bits
Peekshers...

Here are a few pictures of Peaches during the beginning of the swap process...
