Just asking, why did you go in from the bottom is that the normal method or easier? One day i may tackle something that ambitious so it would be good to know the reason

Good one Alex , looks like it'll be back on the road sometime this week then?
So it will definitely be ready for GTI Inters? And you could take it down the 1/4 mile and break it again??
