Default update

im very nearly there the engines in and looks pretty good and i had a stainless steel custom exhaust made up by www.pipecraft.biz which looks pretty good and only cost Ł300 which i dont think is that bad.

engine all dressed up and plumbed in just 1 fuel leek to sort out


the exhaust

im going for a sleeper look so tried to keep the exhaust looking standard
