chall Posted June 17, 2008 Author Share Posted June 17, 2008 the old one was built in summer 05! wow that is a while ago... im not sure what route to take with it as the old one looked good with the Glanza kit but i'm kinda thinking colour change to make it different. decisions. progress will be slower than the last time as i had a complete GT to swap everything overwhen i sold that one i went on to a cheap civic but following that was another civic, s13, brand new ibiza 20vt, gtir, glanza, wrx wagon, primera, civic and then my current primera gt Quote Link to post Share on other sites
