Silk purse out of a sow's ear
I found this on ebay for 700,  so i sold my suzuki sierra.And bought it,now the long process,of resurrecting her. She has a mighty 1.6 motor, 4spd.Thinking of wild violet, of the gtho's. What do you think [x2x] regards james

I think you're much better off with the esky van over the sierra no matter what the colour. Wild violet will look nice.
