Bump, Just in case you missed it and yes we're still working on updating the van.

The latest acquisitions:

▶ Ordered the 28mm Hardrace sway bar from Aleks racing, NY but it's being shipped from Taiwan and I just learn that Taiwan is being hit with a severe hurricane. Then there's the US port strike, Not sure when we'll get this part.

▶ Then we ordered the last 2 Axe CS Lite wheels from a shop in UK. Same issues, it's being held at customs and there's a port strike going on.
