•My Engine Bay tuck/shave build (Semi-New daily inside)•

[MR.EM1]

Over the last month or so I have been obsessed with my bay being so dirty and ugly looking. dkjohnson04 and I, FINALLY quit the worst job we had (we both worked at Honey baked ham together) soo now that i have a good paying job, I feel its time to update my engine bay. Oh yea just got a daily driver YES!:crazy:
