looks good mate, future plans sound good, should get that exhaust happening soon that way you can drive it around with that V8 rumble bursting out the exhaust.

[We11eR]

exhaust is next on list was hoping to get it done before the maffless but money is looking tight between now and then,

[We11eR]

new cam is in, springs are happening (slowly) need a bleed down tool, moved my battery, well half way through moving it any way, cut and modified the front bumper, photos tonight.
