Default Brought it home today!

Here are some of the latest photos. Color sanding, buffing tis week. Probably get most of it back together next week!

REALLY needs new wheels no doesn't it?

Sidepipes are in the garage. Probably a day job to get them and the headers on.

With that paint job, the rallys look too plain. A nice set of chrome rims would set that off.

Hey Mongoose perhaps you should get personalized plates for the red/black car to say "DT MAUL"
