Posts: 5 777Seriously its builds like this that made me decide to build the new forum. I was also following this on SC, what a bloody crying shame if we lost info on builds like this. Funny how you build something that you think is bloody good, then you see a build like this that takes it up to a whole new level. Just a truly beautiful car. Well thought through, beautifully executed, all the mods complement each other, truly awesome work mate.
