After many chassis, tires, fenders, quarter panels, bumpers, hood, tube front ends, bash bars, Sub frames, power steering pump, oil coolers, radiators, its time to sell this thing.This car was built on hope and dreams, held together with zip ties and ductape, fueled by blood sweat and tears and funded thanks to cup noodles.What was once a Passion slowly turned into a hobby (i guess im growing out of it?)
