do you need any parts i got loads

[cookie4343]

Welded some evil eye brows to the bonnet and sprayed the dash suround blue, i will be spraying the car this colour to, also the bonnet still needs quite abit of work to get it right.

04davina All i need for this in the next month or two is some decent driveshafts because the one's fitted are knocking when cornering.
