"S1NGLE" Built for fun!!

[YBNV.4]

i picked this up back in september 09 for a daily driver. it was stock other than a dirty cat back exhaust, venetian, lowered and a faded bonnet with a knock in the bottem end on cold starts. but less than 3 months later the inlet manifold gasket let go, instead of replacing it i thought it was time for a rebuild. thats where it got out of control and 5 months later it was back on the road as this
