Johnny-C Posted June 2, 2012 Author Posted June 2, 2012 update time.having a lot of hold ups,with personal shit,waiting on parts,parts to be made,parts missing etc.but i booked off all next week,sole'ly to finish this.so,entered the garage to this....as id stripped alot off it for various reasons and my crazy ideas.a while later it looking like this....and a few sneak peaks at our Garage-C ps pump set up which is near finished....we stripped alot of crap out that wont be used,so the engine bay will be alot less cluttered compared to most.we are working on our own cars to finish things up,so no more starlets in the yard for awile!
