While the engines away, i was going through all my other important bits. And noticed how crap my altenator and starter motor looked!

So, quick look round my work and hey presto!

Cheers scott...Anything i said at the start was never intended to be directed at you mate. I just never see the point on bodykits unless there good ABS plastic items that suit the car! I'm learning slowly to keep my mouth shut as everyone has different tastes!

I recon i'll only make trax and the national show.. Maybe get chatting to ya then mate!

Alot of fiberglass kits are crap, break easy and most are poor fitting. And the majority look wierd. EG. Carzone, delta etc.

Alot of work went into your kit, making sure it was strong, fitted great, and it also looks great. So your's and a few others (ian's old valver, dan paynes etc) are an exception!
