Tink...

I found Tink on the Washington Craigslist, with a Just-Right price tag of $500. She was in pretty decent shape, and the kid was only selling her because he bought a motorcycle, and was going to college, and he said he could only afford to keep one. Lucky for me, he chose to keep the bike. So I made a wee road trip to Seattle, and brought her home on the trailer. Below are some "before" pictures. (click to enlarge images)

Updates...

Mainly due to the fact that she was in halfway decent shape (on the surface) when I got her, Tink has only undergone a few mechanical improvements/changes so far.

Performance / Maintenance     • Wee bit of re-wiring some screwy wiring     • New battery     • New battery terminals

Cosmetic Mods     • New (to her) Le Castelette wheels

Hopes and Plans...

  Tink needs far more mechanical work than I had anticipated. Once I got her home and got a good look at her, I realized that she is definitely going to require some serious attention. It appears she was once in an accident, and has some issues to the frame in front.

  In addition to the body work and structural reinforcements she will need, she will need to be completely rewired. It appears that one of the previous owners went to town on the wiring as if it was some 4th grade science experiment. In other words, it's f***ed.

Performance...     • All new seals, filters, belts, etc.     • Fix transmission issues (linkage?)     • Get her running to optimal performance     • New tires Tunes...     • New head unit     • New speakers for door panels     • Amp and subwoofer

Cosmetic...     • Complete body work and paint job.     • Shave side markers     • New convertible top     • Complete custom interior     • Gold rocker and side trim     • Paint or powder coat grille trim gold     • New headlights     • Clear bumper lights and tail lights?     • Custom gauge faces     • Add various gold blingy bits     • Gold wheels

Here are a few pictures of Tink as she sits now...
