Thank you, yes I'm getting close!
Thank you, this thread has been a good way to keep my progress and photos in one location, I would have lost a lot of photos without it. I have...
That sounds good, you're welcome to come around to check it out. I can't think of anything I need brought over, thanks for the offer!
Hahaha, yes I have a few! Now that I have the one made up for the roadster, I'll copy it, and make one for the coupe.
