It's strange sometimes I see the pictures as a non member and sometimes I don't. Anyhow, the pictures are also in my gallery and that's where the links point too. It's amazing you can spend 20k in parts and still have a car you cannot drive on the streets legally. I need about 9k in paint and body, it has open headers now, and I need some other stuff before shes done. I ran out of money last year but I'm hoping I can get it done by the end of this year.
