The car looks good. I'm sure the owner will be very pleased with the outcome - or is it for one of you boys since the locking AWD box was dropped in?

Cheers

Hey Bennie, Not for one of us. Our Gen 2's are not as set up, but not far off. But it doesnt matter how good the car is, it is the drivers capability in the end. Which reminds me, i need alot more practice.

It certainly will be very capable :D
Thanks Mate.

The write up is a very short summery of the build. There was alot of other things done, to make items all fit and work. Also it was not in line , time span wise , with the build. The write up was over about 4 days. The build took two to three months to do.

That's why I made the joke about how quick you guys work!

I bet the owner was "pretty happy" with the result! I'm surprised it's not blue :lol:

Cheers

Thanks Bennie for reminding me . I thought i better clear it up . Just in case there was some one out there , that might think we were better than we are. LOL.

The owner is happy how it turned out.

I am sorry to say, the blue idea went out the window since the M.Y. sedan was done. I am the only one left with a blue on now , in the group.

I'm still blue at heart, might go back to blue one day. As they say once you go blue you never go back.

Looks great Rick and you should be very proud of your work.
