bufkin Pipe in alloy ordered as well as some other bits and pieces, have borrowed a sand blast cabinet so every sing bracket clip ect I touch will be made better than new, I've also took the decision to have the car fully painted whilst going to all this trouble as I want it perfect and there will be no rush on the painter he can have it till new year at least.

I may be slightly mad bit my aim is to use it a as a toy on weekends and I've all ways a minty mint car.
