spacie Posted July 26, 2009 Author Share Posted July 26, 2009 how the hell do you change the title of this thread? it clearly never became my sisters wagon! anyways, some more photos of what she actually looks like these days. Cragar quicktricks with 175/60x14 Yokohama stickies 1600 with Kent fast road cam, 32DGV Weber, Ramflo and extractors into 2 inch exhaust with one muff and dumpy. She's all good for a daily driver.
