Rosso321 Posted July 12, 2015 Share Posted July 12, 2015 I'm telling yea man jdm auction be ringing yea because the japs what her back. Lol as socks said get Jim to clean that showroom and tell him to get the red carpet out for the gt. Joking aside truly the best gt I've laid eyes read or heard about and delighted to see she's in good hands and the work to go in to her let alone the time off a family man credit were it's due man. I know it will never be finished always something g but to me it perfect the way it is. Best thing about this build it's a daily and you get to enjoy driving her and doing what you have to.

Ep82gi Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 Just read through the whole thing and I got so disappointed when I got to the end. I can't wait to keep seeing more of this brilliant work. It's so nice to see someone taking a different approach to it. The car is a credit to you mate. I'd love to see this in the flesh. Maybe wrap some red ribbon around it at shows so no sticky fingers touch it :-) Liam Quote Link to post Share on other sites
