if i had it painted, that would not be my color choice, but i gotta admit i like it. i wouldnt have lowered it like it is either, but it can be reversed. the rear is sitting on the stops (that made for some interesting bouncing at 65 going over rough overpasses..LOL) i dont mind the 1600. yeah, its slower than dirt, but i dont mind. i dont take it anywhere if im in a hurry. i never realized how much fun buses were to drive and own. the guy i bought it from said he could have the engine sitting on the ground in 20 minutes flat. im gonna test that theory soon as i have to replace the oil cooler seals. anyways, all opinions are welcome, favorable or non favorable.
