    Looks a hell of alot better than it did when we started. You need to get the turbo back on that thing in a bad way, I'd hate to see it lose to my DD haha. Now host them pics on Photobucket.

    Not because I agree, lolol. It was just put out there, point blank. No beating around the bush, lolol.

    Car is cool, but not that great. Needs a bit more work, but it can be done. Later, QD.

    Looks much better. Once all that blue is gone under the hood itll be tremendously better. I've got to put a radiator in Tommy's Si tomorrow then I'll give you a call and we may mess with it a little tomorrow. I may bring the fox by and show it to lil Zach.
