Haha, that's a cool idea, tax exempt, that would be nice *damn being one year too new!* lol!

Anyways, got the calipers all made up and sprayed in red today along with the rear spacer drums, only got pics of them before being sprayed atm.

Got some pics of the arches on the car aswell....think i may need bigger wheels! lolio

Taken the engine appart ready to clean and paint (BMC green of course )

Still no idea if it'll be ready by 16th lol ahwell!
