Me And My Lil' Red Riding Hood

[SIZE="5"]1979 SUZUKI LJ80-II(BEAVER/JIMNY) a.k.a. "Lil Red"[/SIZE]
It's been a tedious and tremendous task restoring this piece of junk. However, it's been well worth the time, money, effort since it is a rare Suzuki. Only a few can own this one since there are less than 20 LJ 80s still roaming the streets nationwide. This is the great grand father of the Jimny wide. I had the pleasure of owning several kinds of Suzuki 4x4s(Samurai, Jimny, Vitara) and this one is the most special of them all.
