Sweet car man seen it in person when dil had it prity sorted car all u need to do is fine a splitter and ur sorted best of luck with it man

[Darren]

rust wise no major worries a bit of surface rust here and there one hole under the battery tray that needed sorting. The paint has seen better days it will get a respray at some stage but is grand for now. there's a few bodge jobs that need sorting the ic pipeing was rubbing the engine and body and was almost worn through the ic is also rubbing the crash bar









of coarse i forgot to take pics of the rest a couple of the job done





its not perfect but its better than it was. i under sealed the inner wings while i was at it and sealed the inside of the wings aswell they were lookin a bit scabby
