Very nice! Do you have a more detailed thread in projects? Are you keeping the capped steels on it? They look great.

Surprisingly guys!
The front end was shot, so its had a new one of them!
But the rest of the car was pretty good, Subframe was really good and rear sub frames were good!
But yeah!
Its all good now!
