Built to go not for show
This one kind of defeats the purpose as its built but technically its not 100% finished…
I bought this car for £350. I wanted any colour apart from red and an original big bumper model. This was neither, but the body was rock solid and at that money I couldn't a say no…
This was the car receiving its first clean and polish and I put a set of bbs ra on it and a single lamp grill to see what it was like.
My buddy Andy helping out👍


Cross hair lights I had as the clears were done

The paint came up amazing using G3 products I was well chuffed and the tornado started to grow on me.
This was the bay

So after I got the car cleaned up the strip down began

Is a 4.5bar fpr needed? I thought 4bar was more than enough for modding that engine?
