Yeah i know it does sound a bit mental, but its taken me about 2 years far more than i originally estimated and ive ended up with a wicked fun car that im scared to drive for fear of it getting stolen or having an incident on the way to anywhere

how much u willing to pat for a 2.3 4x4 RS2K turbo (red one)

I've read this all the way through and it's a top job you've done with the car and gutting to see you're breaking it but at least parts of it will live on i guess and at least you can look back and remember it,

Also without sounding cheaky and encouraging you to break it if you do break it can i have a price and first dibs on the rear lights please mat as i'm too lazy to tint my own lol, Drop me a pm fella cheers, Grant
