Hi just a quick update finally got the car out of my garage and in a unit

I've started a bit of work on it .... I've fitted all the adjustable track controll arms and the compression struts.

Next job is to get whizza to fit the electric colume ��������

You have to buy the colume and mod it your self. Your better off using the top and bottom bits of your colume so all the storks and cowling fit the same
