BY far an amazing build !!!

love it when you rescue something and make it into a beautiful creation from some good old

time sweat and money invested.

Definitely got my two for this.

We have Lexus Sc400 for a shop car that was a rescue as well.

Its inspiring me to get back and start switching up more things on her.

Gorgeous pics Ian. I didn't then think to go take some in the snow, maybe I will tonight if I can get outta work before it gets dark.
Cant wait to see this car again once you've got everything you want done to it!
