Back to Black

Postby clee » Sat Aug 01, 2009 4:01 pm

I'm getting nowhere at present chasing down the lumpy running ,90% it's an injector issue ,so I've made a start on the stealth paint job .
Going to use the existing bumpers but still on the lookout for some cheap doors .
Cutouts on the front for more flow to the rad .This will be covered for road use by the number plate innit .
