cool what subby are you using?

Thanks for the kind remarks boo
its an home made (part work) (i used to restore classic cars a few years ago)
so bought a 1/2 finished frame from fat hedgehog but the welding was tat so i ground it all off and re-welded at work. I had to make some mods to it though as he had built it up without starter/alternator in place think he was going to fit them with sky hooks lol.
also the tie rods where a mile out so ive spent 50 hours on it to sort it all out, at least it's now looking quite good
