My name's Dave, and I'm an avengerholic
« on: July 01, 2017, 03:00:15 AM »
This is my 71 1500DL.
Bought it in 2008 as a rot box, welded the crap out of it, got it back on the road, wrapped it round a lamp post, sold a really expensive guitar to get it fixed, they messed it up so I had to pay someone else to re do it.
Think that's pretty much it
It's all in here if you want the gory details

Hi Dave.

Welcome to the forum. I have been following your build thread over the years. Lots of ups and downs, it is really cool that you rebuilt the Avenger after the crash, that damage looks quite similar to what I did to my old rally car, I repaired mine also, I posted some photos of my crash on page 33 of your build thread.

Great to have you on our forum.

I have some 19"s on my MPS, kerbed them within a week after getting them. heart broken. Since then it's been a downward slope, and I don't even care anymore  ;D
